About Motion Sensors - Accelerometers


Accelerometers are motion sensors designed to measure and detect changes in acceleration, including static forces such as gravity and dynamic forces such as vibration and shock. These sensors utilize various technologies such as piezoelectric, capacitive, or MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) principles to convert mechanical motion into electrical signals. Accelerometers find applications in automotive systems, aerospace, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment for tasks such as tilt sensing, vibration monitoring, and impact detection. They offer advantages such as high sensitivity, low power consumption, and compact size, making them essential components in applications requiring motion sensing, orientation detection, and inertial navigation.
