Piezoelectric accelerometers are most commonly used in vibration and shock measurement because of their excellent characteristics, such as broadband, high-sensitivity, small size and weight, and wide dynamic range.

There are all kinds of vibrations in the world around us, and there are so many fields in which accelerometers are being used: vehicles such as cars and trains, electrical products like PCs, audio equipment (and the electronic components within them), manufacturing machiery, factories, the ground and buildings, even in our own bodies.

The mounted resonant frequency will vary, depending on the method used to mount the accelerometer to the object and the state of contact.
This section explains how to mount accelerometers and their glossary.

To ensure that our sensors are in the best condition when you use them, we conduct strict quality control that guarantees sensor traceability with the national standard.

As an introductory guide to piezoelectric accelerometer, this handbook contains extensive basic information you should remember when using piezoelectric accelerometer, such as their features, characteristics, and sensitivity calibration.
