An accelerometer is a device that measures the vibration, or acceleration of motion, of a structure. The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the mass to “squeeze” the piezoelectric material which produces an electrical charge that is proportional to the force exerted upon it.
An accelerometer works by utilizing an electromechanical sensor that is designed to measure either static or dynamic acceleration. Static acceleration is the constant force acting on a body, like gravity or friction.
Choose the right accelerometer:
✔️ Premium Grade Accelerometer
The OMEGAROMETER™ Series accelerometers are designed for industrial vibration measurements. These accelerometers feature a hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel case suitable for harsh environments.
✔️ Industrial Grade Accelerometer
The ACC101 accelerometer is low cost yet extremely durable. These accelerometers are constructed using high strength aluminum, has a rugged strain relief, rugged ¼-28 stud mounting, an epoxy seal, and uses the kind of dependable components usually found only in higher priced accelerometers.
✔️ High Vibration Accelerometer
The ACC103 laboratory accelerometer is ideal for use in shake tests, vibration labs, and other general purpose vibration applications.
