Capacitive accelerometers
A capacitive accelerometer is a sensor that is used to measure the acceleration of an object. It is based on the principle of capacitance change caused by the movement of a mass within the sensor. When the object is accelerated, the mass inside the sensor moves, changing the distance between the capacitor plates. This change in capacitance is measured and converted into an electrical voltage that is proportional to the acceleration. The capacitive accelerometer provides precise and reliable measurement of acceleration and is used in various applications such as automotive engineering, aerospace and industrial automation.
