A capacitive-based acceleration transducer, or capacitive accelerometer is a sensor that detects acceleration by measuring changes in electrical capacitance caused by the movement of an internal mass. These devices convert mechanical motion into a measurable electrical signal and are widely used in applications from smartphone screen rotation to vehicle airbag deployment systems.
For accurate measurement
Our range of strain gauge and capacitive-based acceleration transducers convert the acceleration of running vehicles or the vibration of car body or machinery into voltage to enable accurate measurement of acceleration or vibration. Each model is compact and lightweight and ensures superior static and dynamic characteristics. Various rated capacity models cover a wide scope of applications. In addition, tri-axial models are available for simultaneous detection of acceleration in directions X, Y and Z.
KYOWA Strain Gauges
Kyowa’s strain gauge acceleration transducers convert the acceleration of running vehicles or the vibration car body/machinery into minute voltage which enables the accurate measurement of acceleration or vibration. Each model is compact and lightweight, and ensures superior static and dynamic characteristics. Various rated capacity models cover a wide scope of applications. In addition, triaxial models are available for simultaneous detection of accelerations in thee directions.
SEIKA Capacitive Accelerometers
The Seika range are capacitive spring mass accelerometers with integrated electronics. Resonant peaks are minimised by special gas-dynamic damping in the primary transformer. The sensors are manufactured with an analog DC output. The sensor electronics require only small amounts of power and are in conjunction with the capacitive primary transformer characterised by low error and high long-term stability.
