How to select the right kind of acceleration sensor for high vibration applications: Capacitive Versus Thermal

MEMSIC has published a whitepaper for heavy equipment design engineers and developers who need to pick the right kind of acceleration sensors. MEMSIC discusses various uses for accelerometers used in construction, testing and transportation equipment.

The whitepaper provides an in-depth analysis of Capacitive and Thermal Accelerometers as well as the differences between these two leading accelerometer technologies; as well as their benefits and advantages.The paper covers how these two technologies impact device sensitivity, resistance to shock and vibration, and overall performance in demanding real world industrial and construction environments.
