    Acceleration transducers, also called accelerometers, are contact transducers mounted on bearing housings to analyze machinery vibrations through vibration analysis of devices like angle grinders and electric motors. Accelerometers most commonly use internally amplified piezoelectric crystals, which produce an electrical charge proportional to acceleration when compressed or decompressed by vibrations, requiring an amplifier to convert the charge to a measurable voltage output.

    Acceleration Transducers

    Acceleration transducers or accelerometers are contact transducers and


    are mounted on the bearing housing. Accelerometers are the most
    common types of transducers used in industry for machinery vibration
    analysis such as angle grinder, electric motor, etc.
    The most common accelerometer is the internally amplified
    piezoelectric. Accelerometers are suitable for high frequency
    measurement.
    An accelerometer contains piezoelectric material-crystal, which is
    placed under a load. As the transducer vibrates, the crystal is
    compressed or decompressed, and a charged is produced.
    The charge output is proportional to the force, and therefore
    acceleration (Newtons second law).
    An amplifier is required to convert that charge output to a voltage
    output.
