Miniature Triaxial Accelerometer in 6.3-mm Cube

November 25, 2011 By Randy Frank

Measuring acceleration or vibration in small spaces poses problems for applications such as small component qualification, structural vibration and environmental stress screening. PCB Piezotronics, Inc., new miniature Integrated Circuit – Piezoelectric or ICP triaxial accelerometer addresses these space-constrained applications. With a 6.3 mm (0.25-in) cube form factor, the Model 356A03 delivers 10 mV/g sensitivity. Other […]

Meggitt Sensing Systems Ultra-small Triaxial Accelerometer

July 4, 2010 By Randy Frank

Measuring acceleration in a very small form factor can pose significant challenges. In addition to the right performance capability, the packaging and connectivity as well as the weight of the accelerometer must not interfere with the measurement. Designed for these types of measurements, Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Endevco model 35A ISOTRON triaxial accelerometer with its integral […]
