I waa hoping to fill this feed with pics from work. But, surprise surprise, companies don't always like you taking pics in their test cells. 🙃

You can use an accelerometer to get velocity & displacement, with a little integration. BUT, you also amplify noise. Possible, but not the most accurate method.

IEPE Accelerometers: Because Vibrations Matter!
How they work
Piezoelectric crystal: "Hey, I'm shaking! Send help!"
Integrated electronics: "Chill, I've got this."
Constant current source: "Coffee, anyone?"
How it Works
Vibration → crystal freaks out → electronics calm it down → usable signal!

These are #hightemperature #accelerometers from Dytran. Good to 1000F/540C, no prob, we can go hotter with new #piezoelectric material. Reorient the crystals and u don't need a big block, all 3 axis can exit the same direction for a low profile #sensor solution. Want to know more?
