Every object that moves is experiencing acceleration, but not every movement requires one type of accelerometer to measure it. For applications that involve vibration, the type of accelerometer you need depends on the requirements of your project. For Low Vibration Sensing Force-balanced sensors use a pendulum and torque motor and MEMS accelerometers use chip-based technology to measure acceleration…
