Product Profile of Piezoelectric Accelerometers
IPA Weighing and Automation manufactures various types of sensors and automation systems. This is an ISO 9001-2000 certified company. Piezoelectric Accelerometers are part of those products. A piezoelectric accelerometer is an electro mechanical transducer, which at its output terminal gives an electrical signal; proportional to the acceleration to which it is subjected. There are many different types of transducers which can be used to measure vibration. Key features are as follows:
It is self generating
It has large dynamic range.
It has a wide frequency range.
It can be used in any orientation to measure acceleration along one axis.
It is very reliable, with long term stability.
It has no moving parts, it is robust, compact and relatively cheap
