There are a number of ways to construct accelerometers, but the ones in the iPhone (and probably most other consumer-level equipment) specifically are MEMS accelerometers. As I understand it, a change ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Researchers have used a specialized form of additive manufacturing to create MEMS sensors that can be fabricated as custom, single-quantity units. Why custom-made sensors using additive manufacturing ...

The ADXL320/321 family of ±0.5-g iMEMS accelerometers are dual-axis units housed in thin 4- by 4- by 1.45-mm plastic lead-frame chip-scale packages (LFCSPs). Featuring signal-conditioned outputs, the ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology have announced the development of a novel surface micromachined accelerometer. This innovative device utilizes a silicon carbide-carbon nanotube ...

Advanced Sensors and Calibration (ASC), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of capacitive, piezoresistive and piezoelectric accelerometers, angular rate sensors and inertial measurement units has ...
