Dytran Instruments has just introduced a new accelerometer to the 3035B family of miniature accelerometers. The 3035B series are miniature, lightweight sensors that are ideal for applications where ...

Aimed at vehicle crash, crush zone, and impact testing applications, the 7285 piezoresistive accelerometer weighs less than 1 g and has a 2,000-g full-scale range. The adhesive-mount device also ...

(Nanowerk News) In what could be a breakthrough for body sensor and navigation technologies, researchers at KTH have developed the smallest accelerometer yet reported, using the highly conductive ...

With space at a premium in hearables, smartwatches and other portable consumer products, all components must be as small as possible. However, with OEMs also demanding plug-and-play step-counters and ...

Schematic diagrams of graphene NEMS accelerometers. a 3D schematic of the proposed graphene NEMS accelerometer. b 3D schematic of the cross-section of the graphene NEMS accelerometer. c, d Schematics ...

In what is being described as "a breakthrough for body sensor and navigation technologies", a team of scientists in Sweden and Germany have developed the smallest accelerometer yet reported, using ...

Type 8766A range of tri-axial PiezoStar IEPE accelerometers offer simultaneous shock and vibration measurement capabilities in three orthogonal axes. Said to be both compact and lightweight, the Type ...

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 ...

Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...
