Two Minute Tips
Mounting a Triaxial MEMS Accelerometer
When many people think of a MEMS accelerometer, they think of a MEMS chip. This 2-minute tip will not address MEMS accelerometer chips, which require a pick-n-place machine and soldering to install onto a circuit board and then connection to an output mechanism. We’re going to address mounting an industrial MEMS triaxial accelerometer sensor to achieve the optimal measurement range and accurate readings.

Two Minute Tips
MEMS Accelerometers and Yearly Calibration
A handheld portable vibration data collector typically uses a piezoelectric sensor. Normally this would require a calibration every year or two, as a piezo crystal output can drift over time. MEMS (Micro-electromechanical systems) accelerometers do not require recalibration every year which make it ideal for use in a wireless vibration sensor. Why is this?
