MEMS accelerometers (single & multi axis)
A MEMS accelerometer (uniaxial and multiaxial) is a microelectromechanical system used to measure acceleration in different directions. A single-axis MEMS accelerometer measures acceleration along a single axis, while a multi-axis MEMS accelerometer can measure acceleration along multiple axes simultaneously, such as in the three dimensions x, y and z.
A MEMS accelerometer offers high accuracy, sensitivity and reliability in measuring acceleration. It is used in a variety of applications, such as in automotive engineering for stability control, in aerospace for aircraft monitoring, in medical technology for motion detection and in consumer electronics for gesture control of devices.
