Strong Motion Accelerometer
The 131B-01 Accelerometer uses a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) variable capacitance displacement sensor. Because no coils or magnets are used, the accelerometer is inherently stable over temperature, with excellent reliability, linearity, hysteresis, and noise levels. The 131B-01/3 Tri-axial Accelerometer is best suited to structural applications.
