DC Response (Static/Dynamic) Accelerometers
To measure motion (velocity, displacement) and static/dynamic
acceleration accurately, an accelerometer with DC response is
required. Using state-of-the-art MEMS technologies and the latest
ASIC in their designs, Measurement Specialties’ DC accelerometers
offer the best-in-class performance and exceptional value. Designed
and fabricated in the US, Europe and Asia, our accelerometer products find themselves in many mission critical applications and are
embedded in thousands of test & measurement systems worldwide.

AC Response (Dynamic) Accelerometers
The output of a piezoelectric sensor is AC-coupled by design, and
is therefore best suited for dynamic measurements. Voltage mode
piezoelectric is the most popular AC accelerometer design due to its
high level output and its wide bandwidth. The Integral Electronics
PiezoElectric (IEPE) type offers the convenience of using the same
two-wire or coaxial cable for power and signal transmission, running
in a constant current configuration.
To measure shock and vibration in high temperature environments,
a charge mode piezoelectric accelerometer may be needed. They
come in various configurations to suit most application environments
and are hermetically sealed to maintain their critical high impedance
characteristics.

Measurement Specialties, Inc utilizes leading strain gauge
technologies in its static and dynamic torque sensors to satisfy
demanding customer requirements. Solutions are offered for
both reaction torque as well as rotating torque measurements.
Also offered are multi-component sensors which simultaneously
measure 3-axis force and momentum in a single device. Optionally, sensors can be configured to detect angle position and
provide velocity measurements. To ensure reliable data collection over long periods and in harsh environments our torque
sensors feature integral mechanical stops that provide protection
during mounting and operation. Our non-contact models are
well suited for high RPM and temperature environments. MEAS
