‘Accelerometer’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Gyro-accelerometer suits high-performance apps from VTI Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "VTI Technologies has released a range of gyro-accelerometer combo sensors for high-performance industrial applications.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from HEM Data Corp: "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".

In September 2009, we covered the news from Endevco - take a look at Accelerometer operates in 260C temperatures which says: "Endevco has completed the 6,000th field installation of its Model 2221F, a high impedance, piezoelectric accelerometer, designed for high-temperature shock and vibration measurements. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Endevco, Endevco announces dates for calibration workshop, as well as Dytran triaxial accelerometer has titanium design from Dytran Instruments, and 12M1B integrates with hybrid or SMT packages from Endevco.
