Model 1521 is offered in eight standard ranges from ±2g to ±400g. Each has a ±4V differential output and comes in a choice of 20pin LCC or J-lead surface mount packages, both of which are nitrogen gas ...

Commoditization has led to a complete ecosystem for MEMs, lowering the barrier for entry and opening up new manufacturing and integration options. I recently gave an invited talk at the IEEE Inertial ...

Japanese multinational conglomerate company Hitachi, Ltd. announced that it has developed a new MEMS accelerometer that can detect vibrations up to three orders of magnitude smaller than previous ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

Most people’s personal experience with seismographs begins and ends with simple childhood science experiments. Watching a pendulum make erratic marks on a piece of paper while your classmates banged ...
