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.
Industrial Piezoelectric Accelerometer Design
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 proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Or, mathematically, F = m a.
