Accelerometers

Accelerometers Sensors Data Logging Vernier Instruments Direct (Services) LtdWe have three accelerometers for different uses. These small devices can be mounted on objects to study motion. All are individually calibrated.

Low-g Accelerometer

This is the best choice for most experiments. Use it for studying the one-dimensional motion of a car (real and toy), elevator, pendulum bob, or amusement park ride.

Range -50 to +50 m/s2
Typical accuracy ±0.1 m/s2

Order Code: VR105480

25-g Accelerometer

This is great for studying one-dimensional collisions or any motion with larger accelerations.

Range -250 to +250 m/s2
Typical accuracy ±1 m/s2

Order Code: VR105472

3 Axis Accelerometer

This is really three Low-g Accelerometers mounted at right angles and all placed in a small box. Use it for studying the complex motion of an amusement park ride, a bungee jumper, or simply a toss in the air.

Range -50 to +50 m/s2
Typical accuracy ±0.1 m/s2

Order Code: VR105464
