TE CONNECTIVITY SENSORS /// FIVE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF WHEN MEASURING OVER 50 G
When it comes to researching, developing, and testing
products in harsh and complex environments, accelerometers
can provide invaluable data.
In some industries, however, there can be challenges to
collecting that data—especially when measuring at a high
g-force. And since an accelerometer's application is only as
good as its accuracy, you'll want to consider what contributes
to those challenges before making decisions on what
accelerometers you'll use.

INSIDE THIS REPORT, WE'LL EXAMINE FIVE QUESTIONS YOU
CAN ASK YOURSELF WHEN PLANNING TO MEASURE OVER 50 G:
WHAT IS THE EXPECTED DYNAMIC RANGE YOU WILL BE MEASURING OR TESTING?
WHAT IS THE MEASUREMENT BANDWIDTH?
HOW WILL THE SENSOR BE MOUNTED DURING TESTING?
WHAT CONDITIONS WILL YOU BE CONDUCTING YOUR TEST IN?
WHAT MEASUREMENT PARAMETER (EG. ACCELERATION,
VELOCITY, DISPLACEMENT) DO YOU NEED?
