Accelerometer Type | Range | Sampling Rate | Bandwidth | Noise | Resolution |
Piezoelectric | ± 2,000g | 20,000 Hz | 5 to 2,000 Hz | < 1.0 gRMS | 0.06 g |
Digital Capacitive | ± 40g | 4,000 Hz | 0 to 300 Hz | < 0.01 gRMS | 0.00008 g |
Please note: Piezoelectric accelerometers are susceptible to saturation due to exposure to high frequency events because they are AC coupled. If your application will have high frequency events (events with pulse widths less than 1 ms) we recommend checking out our S-R series products.
