A sensor used to measure vibration.

At the heart of all Waverider buoys is an instrument called an accelerometer. This is mounted on a horizontal, stabilised platform suspended in a fluid filled sphere in the bottom of the Waverider buoy. The accelerometer is designed to measure only the up-and-down motions of the Waverider buoy (the heave) as it follows the movement of the ocean surface. Electronic circuitry on the Waverider buoy converts heave into displacements (up and down) representing the amount of vertical movement it experienced. Directional Waverider buoys also have an additional two fixed accelerometers to measure accelerations in the north-south and east-west axes. This information is combined with the heave to resolve wave directions.

a sensor that responds to acceleration, often using a piezo crystal that generates a voltage when distorted

A device which measures changes in speed and direction. Often used in conjunction with a gyroscope as part of a inertial navigation system (INS)

Oscillatory mechanical system measuring the acceleration of the body to which it is attached.

A device which measures a trains rate of speed change.

Transducer whose output is directly proportional to acceleration. Most commonly use piezoelectric crystals to produce output.

(1) A device for sensing or measuring acceleration and converting it to an electric signal. (2) An inertial device for measuring acceleration, usually in three orthogonal axes (lateral X, longitudinal Y, and vertical Z); accelerometers usually consist of a mass, spring, and damper; accelerometers are usually included in inertial sensors, such as AHRS and INS.

A transducer which converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal that is proportional to the acceleration value of the motion.technical glossary, technical terms, glossary, technical glossary

A device that measures the acceleration to which it is subjected and develops a signal proportional to it.

A device used in WAVE buoys for measuring acceleration.

A device used to measure acceleration. In loudspeaker technology, the accelerometer is usually mounted on the cone or voice coil to report cone motion.

A device which converts the effects of mechanical motion into an electrical signal that is proportional to the acceleration value of the motion. A sensor. A transducer.

Device used to detect sudden changes in velocity and acceleration.

Is a specific type of vibration transducer which converts mechanical vibration into electrical signals using a piezoelectric crystal. There are a number of different accelerometer designs each with their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. › More detailed information

A transducer used to measure linear or angular acceleration.

An instrument that measures acceleration.

A transducer whose output is n electrical/mechanical directly proportional to acceleration forces. The output is usually produced by force applied to a piezoelectric crystal which generates a current proportional to the applied force. This current is then amplified and displayed as a time waveform or processed by a Fourier transform to produce a frequency display. Single integration of the acceleration signal will produce a velocity display and double integration of the acceleration signal will produce a displacement display.

A device designed to measure acceleration. Accelerometers are commonly used along with gyroscopes in the design of inertial guidance systems in large rockets and missles. Even small rockets may be equipped with electronics payloads featuring recording accelerometers or accelerometer based flight computers.

A device that senses changes in speed along its axis.

Instrument that measures acceleration. It is attached to the surface of the object that will experience the acceleration. As the object moves, it causes an electric current to flow, which measures the amount of acceleration that is taking place and indicates that amount on the calibrated accelerometer.

An instrument for measuring acceleration or deceleration, or the rate of change in the speed of a moving object.

An accelerometer is a device for measuring acceleration. An accelerometer inherently measures its own motion (locomotion), in contrast to a device based on remote sensing.
