Sensor: Single-Axis Accelerometer

One of our most exciting lines of sensors are the Vertex series accelerometers. The T302C Single-Axis Accelerometer is great for measuring gestural energy or gravitational force.

Applications include mounting on instruments, mechanical installations, and other surfaces that may be in some form of motion. As always. we have fully conditioned and scaled the signal to the industry standard voltage range of 0.25-4.75 Volts, perfect for the Teabox.

As with all of our sensors, we have taken care to make certain that this sensor is of the highest quality.
