Accelerometer Sensors

This Component Finder will make it easier for you to search for generic acceleration sensors that can be used for general measurements in research and development or in test laboratories. As well as generic acceleration sensors, Kistler offers a vast range of customized solutions for acceleration measurement in specific applications (see the information box on the right).
Accurate acceleration sensors are essential when measuring vibrations that can be heard as noise or felt as oscillations in vehicles or machines (noise, vibration, harshness – or NVH for short). In bridge-building and space travel too, vibration measurement is a key factor in verifying safety and cost-effectiveness. Kistler's piezoelectric acceleration sensors always keep precise track of amplitude and frequency when measuring vibrations.
