Accelerometers can be used to measure vibration, shock, velocity, displacement, tilt and inclination. The Vibration detection Business Group spearheads Measurement Specialties' global initiative to focus on the accelerometer and vibration sensing business with customers in the automotive, medical, military/aerospace and consumer goods industries. This group builds on Measurement Specialties' Silicon MEMS, Bonded Strain Gage and Piezoelectric sensing technologies. More than any other sensor company, Measurement Specialties can choose the best possible technology to solve customer problems and achieve high performance at very competitive costs.
Piezoresistive Silicon MEMS & Bonded Strain Gage
Measurement Specialties' experience designing Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) using silicon structures is unsurpassed in the world. We have developed and commercialized several product areas based on silicon micromachining technology, offering an unmatched range of standard products with a strong custom design capability.
Piezo Film & Ceramic
Measurement Specialties innovative approach for cost-effective piezo accelerometer designs resides in its ability to use a broad range of materials including industrial crystals such as quartz or man-made ceramic and polymers that have piezoelectric properties. OEM manufacturers look towards this technology as it provides lower-cost sensors requiring no external power source.
