AC vs. DC Accelerometers
-
AC Accelerometers
Our board level Piezoelectric accelerometers are designed to be embedded into vibration monitoring systems. These accelerometers are used for both dynamic measurement and shock applications. They are offered in solder pads or solder pins configuration and feature very low power consumption, high frequency response and customized packages.
-
DC Accelerometers
Our board level silicon MEMS accelerometers are designed to be embedded into vibration monitoring systems. Key features of these silicon MEMS accelerometers include DC response, bridge output, wide measurement range, and internal gas damping. They come either in solder pad or solder pins configurations.
