At Sensors Expo, Pete Hulbert, a Test & Support Engineer from Silicon Designs explains one of the applications of his company’s industrial grade microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers using a tabletop track with moving cars. Three accelerometers are attached to the track in different locations (turns in the track) to determine the vibration in the track […]

Accelerometers Address Vibration Measurements
The Model 1510 Series of variable capacitive accelerometer from Silicon Designs target vibration measurements in aerospace, automotive, energy, industrial, oil & gas, and test & measurement applications. The MEMS sensors incorporate a micromachined variable capacitive sensing element and a custom integrated circuit. The accelerometer produces two analog voltages which vary proportionately according to measured acceleration levels. […]
