Accelerometers are versatile sensors that measure acceleration forces, providing critical data about motion and orientation. These sensors are embedded in a wide range of devices across various industries.
Common accelerometers include quartz flexure accelerometers and MEMS accelerometers. Quartz accelerometers are chosen for applications requiring high precision and stability, such as aerospace, seismic monitoring, and industrial vibration analysis. Quartz accelerometers perform better in extreme environmental conditions due to their excellent temperature stability, making them suitable for aerospace and defense applications. MEMS accelerometers are preferred for applications where small size, low cost, and easy integration are important, such as in consumer electronics, automotive systems, and portable medical devices.
Here’s a picture of some concrete examples of equipment or system that incorporate accelerometers and their applications:
