What is a Accelerometer?

An accelerometer is a device designed to detect acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity over time. It measures both static acceleration (due to gravity) and dynamic acceleration (caused by movement or vibration). These sensors are based on various principles, including capacitive, piezoresistive, and piezoelectric technologies. Due to their compact size, lightweight design, and high precision, accelerometers are widely used in smartphones, gaming consoles, automotive safety systems (such as airbag deployment and vehicle stability control), medical devices, and structural vibration monitoring. They also play crucial roles in earthquake detection, drone stabilization, and IoT applications.

Application of Accelerometer

✅ Smartphone Screen Rotation
Detects phone orientation and automatically rotates the display.
✅ Airbag Deployment in Cars
Triggers airbag inflation upon detecting sudden deceleration.
✅ Drone Stabilization
Ensures steady flight and balanced movement of drones.
✅ Earthquake Monitoring
Measures vibrations during seismic activity and generates alerts.
