MEMS inertial-sensors technology has been driven by automotive safety systems; as such, the technology has been applied to several high-volume applications. The large volumes associated with ...

Meggitt Sensing Systems has introduced the Endevco model 28959F/28959FV, a portable accelerometer shaker and calibration system with integral signal conditioning, designed to provide both excitation ...

One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

Why is calibration important? How calibration techniques have changed over time. A timeline showing the evolution of calibration from the beginning would have to start hundreds of years ago (Fig. 1).
