How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

An accelerometer-based active vibration-control system for CNC machine tools is designed to improve machining productivity by maximizing material removal rate (MRR), with the result that tool-head ...

Designed for measuring vibration on lightweight structures, miniature electronic devices, and a variety of small objects, the Model 27AM1 ISOTRON accelerometer is an extremely small, adhesive-mounted ...

Most sensors fail in hot, shaky, deep drilling. This sensor keeps measurements accurate and helps engineers handle tough ...

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers and vibration sensors represent a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for structural health monitoring, seismic detection, and industrial ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...

One of the most critical decisions in developing random vibration tests also is the most neglected. The location of the control accelerometer is one of the most critical decisions when developing ...

Researchers have developed new sensors for measuring acceleration and vibration on trains. The technology could be integrated with artificial intelligence to prevent railway accidents and catastrophic ...

The built-in accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod touch handles many tasks — rotating photos or Web pages when you turn the device, controlling games, and even initiating random searches on some apps.
