About This Product
■What is an acceleration sensor (accelerometer)?
An inertial sensor that measures changes in the speed of an object over time (acceleration). Our acceleration sensor can detect direct current (DC, 0Hz) acceleration, which can also detect constant acceleration and gravitational acceleration, allowing you to see what attitude an object is in. Additionally, by appropriately processing acceleration data, it is also possible to understand phenomena such as vibrations and shocks.
■Types of acceleration sensors (accelerometers)
IAcceleration sensors are roughly divided into the following four types depending on the detection method.
■How the acceleration sensor (accelerometer) works
Inside the accelerometer is a weight and a sensor element (in our case, a double-tune crystal oscillator; see below). When the weight moves, compressive and tensile forces are generated on the sensor element. It utilizes changes in resonance frequency due to these compression/expansion forces.
■What is an acceleration sensor (accelerometer)? Difference with gyro sensor
An accelerometer is a sensor that measures the linear acceleration occurring on an object, and can detect phenomena such as vibration, tilt, and linear motion.

■Acceleration detection element using crystal
By forming the twin-tongue oscillator and cantilever inside the sensor with crystal, differences in thermal expansion coefficients between parts are eliminated, suppressing changes in sensitivity when temperature changes. This is characterized by small sensitivity changes due to temperature.
■Digital method
Adopting a frequency digital measurement IP that eliminates analog circuits to the utmost, and a unique digital frequency detection method, it is possible to detect acceleration over a wide band with high precision. It is also equipped with highly convenient filter compensation and arithmetic processing functions.
■Sensor control from a PC is possible by outputting digital data values.
Epson's vibration sensors output measurement data as digital values. Since it is a digital I/F, it is possible to connect directly to a PC via a general-purpose I/F board or unit and control the sensor from the PC. You can use any programming environment to build sensor systems or add on to existing systems.
In the case of analog sensors, they are connected to a PC via the PLC's A/D unit or A/D converter due to the analog I/F, so while there is dedicated software to handle the data, it is difficult to customize or customize the existing system. Add-ons are difficult.
