Applications of Piezoelectric Accelerometers
Piezoelectric accelerometers are used in many different industries, environments and applications. Piezoelectric measuring devices are widely used today in the laboratory, on the production floor, and as original equipment for measuring and recording dynamic changes in mechanical variables including shock and vibration.
Some accelerometers have built-in electronics to amplify the signal before transmitting it to the recording device. These devices usually comply with the IEPE standard or its proprietary equivalent, ICP (see integrated circuit piezoelectric sensor).
