Piezoelectric accelerometer design - Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies
Industrial accelerometer design, 2009 6 Vibration product training – low frequency measurements Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies proprietary • What is an accelerometer –A sensor is a that measures acceleration –Based on Newton’s second law of motion –The acceleration of an object as produced by net force is directly
Choosing an accelerometer - Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies
Dual-output or triaxial accelerometers take multiple measurements from a single point and can be a good option where space is limited. Figure out the overall vibration level, what fault frequencies you need to be able to measure, and any special environmental conditions or certification requirements.
12 things to consider when selecting an accelerometer
Selecting an industrial accelerometer – what to consider • Most industrial applications utilize a sensor with an 80 g or 50 g acceleration range – 80 g sensors provide a broader dynamic range of measurement – 50 g sensors may clip the signal, resulting in sensor overload, if the amplitude of vibration extends beyond the acceleration limit 2

Reading accelerometer specifications - Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies
Reading accelerometer specifications To obtain vibration data this is meaningful for your application, it is important to understand the performance characteristics of the accelerometer under consideration. Sensitivity Sensor sensitivity is often described as nominal, which means the voltage output per engineering unit.
Basic Definitions - Accelerometers | PCB Piezotronics
An accelerometer is a sensor, or transducer, which is designed to generate an electrical signal in response to acceleration (or deceleration) that is applied along (parallel with) its sensitive axis. Constant Acceleration - acceleration that does not change during an event.
Understanding the accelerometer noise specification
Most Wilcoxon accelerometer specification sheets provide information on the maximum specified noise for various low frequencies. Using model 786A as an example, the “Electrical noise” specification at 10 Hz shows spectral noise of 10 µg/√Hz.
Introduction to Charge Mode Accelerometers | PCB Piezotronics
A charge mode accelerometer is a sensor that generates an electrical output proportional to applied acceleration. They are ideal for high temperature vibration applications because they lack internal microelectronics which limits the use of ICP® sensors to about 325 °F.
