Industries where acceleration applications (testing) are needed:

Automotive / Transportation:

Automotive applications cover a wide range of test objectives. Low-frequency requirements extend to DC and are handled capacitive products. Many general-purpose types fit well:

* Modal Analysis
* Ride Quality and Vehicle Testing
* Impact and Shock
* Inclination and Rotational Acceleration
* General Vibration

Aerospace and Avionics:

High-reliability and quality are required in this environment. Space and flight-qualified types have been developed to accommodate specific requirements:

* Modal Analysis
* Flutter and Flight Testing
* Impact and Shock
* Inclination and Rotational Acceleration
* General Vibration

Other Applications:
Accelerometers are used in almost every industry and every field of study:

* Civil Engineering
* Platform Leveling
* Drop Testing/Packaging Test
* Calibration
* Environmental Stress Screening

A wide variety of accelerometers are available to accommodate various measurement tests:

Miniature types provide minimal mass loading yet provide significant signal for analysis.

High-sensitivity types are available for testing of low amplitude motions down to steady state, DC.
