Measure Vibration, Shock, and Dynamic Response with Confidence
Accelerometers are used to measure acceleration, vibration, and motion across engineering test programs. In automotive and industrial validation, they support durability analysis, structure monitoring, ride studies, machine dynamics, and NVH measurements.
This page covers a uniaxial accelerometer category based on imc accelerometer data sheet references and a triaxial accelerometer category based on the Kistler 8763B IEPE triaxial family reference.
Applications
Where Accelerometers Add Value
Endurance Testing
Support long-duration and fatigue-style testing where repeatable acceleration measurement is required.
Structure Monitoring
Track structural response in test rigs, vehicles, and mechanical assemblies under load.
Sensor Integration
Use with imc and IEPE-compatible acquisition systems for direct, reliable engineering workflows.
Product 01
Uniaxial Accelerometer
Based on the imc accelerometer data sheet references, ATS can position uniaxial accelerometers as compact high-accuracy sensors for single-axis acceleration measurement in vehicle dynamics, endurance strength testing, brake testing, driving comfort measurement, structure monitoring, and general dynamic measurement applications.
The referenced imc AC, AS, and AD series data sheets describe key characteristics such as low noise, stable measurement performance over wide temperature ranges, compact low-weight designs, and versions that support different measuring ranges depending on the series. The imc references also describe options for MEMS-based capacitive sensing and IEPE piezoelectric sensing depending on the sensor family and application.
Uniaxial Highlights
Why This Sensor Category Is Useful
Single-Axis Precision
Ideal when one dominant motion direction must be measured clearly and consistently in a test setup.
Broad Use Cases
The imc references list vehicle dynamics, endurance testing, inspections, comfort measurement, and structure monitoring as typical application areas.
Flexible Sensor Families
The imc AC, AS, and AD series references indicate multiple measurement ranges, compact form factors, and compatibility with imc measurement amplifiers.

Triaxial Accelerometer
Based on the Kistler 8763B reference page, the triaxial accelerometer category is suited for simultaneous vibration measurement in three orthogonal axes. The 8763B family is described as a low-mass IEPE triaxial accelerometer with ceramic shear sensing technology for x, y, and z axis measurements.
The Kistler page highlights features including voltage output (IEPE), measuring ranges from ±50 g to ±2000 g, TEDS option, multiple connector choices, and an optional waterproof IP68 integral cable version. The description also emphasizes high immunity to base strain, lightweight welded titanium construction, and flexible mounting through three threaded holes.
Triaxial Highlights
Key Benefits for Multi-Axis Measurement
Three-Axis Capture
Measure x, y, and z axis vibration together, which is valuable when motion is complex and cannot be represented by one direction alone.
Flexible Mounting
The Kistler 8763B reference notes three 5-40 threaded holes for easier mounting and calibration in each orthogonal axis.
Rugged Construction
The Kistler product page highlights shear technology, titanium housing, and optional waterproof cable configurations for demanding vibration environments.
Comparison
Uniaxial vs Triaxial Selection
Uniaxial
Best for focused single-direction measurements, simpler setups, and applications where one dominant vibration axis is the main concern.
Triaxial
Best for complete 3D vibration analysis where motion happens across multiple axes at the same time.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between uniaxial and triaxial accelerometers?
Uniaxial accelerometers measure motion in one axis, while triaxial accelerometers measure motion simultaneously in three orthogonal axes.
2. Where are uniaxial accelerometers commonly used?
They are commonly used in vehicle dynamics, endurance testing, brake testing, comfort studies, and structure monitoring where one dominant direction is important.
3. When should I use a triaxial accelerometer?
Use a triaxial accelerometer when vibration or shock occurs in multiple directions and you need a more complete motion profile.
4. What is IEPE output?
IEPE is a powered voltage-output sensor interface commonly used for piezoelectric accelerometers in vibration measurement systems.
5. Can ATS help with DAQ integration?
Yes. ATS can help align accelerometers with suitable data acquisition, mounting, and measurement workflows.
6. Are these accelerometers suitable for automotive testing?
Yes. Both reference sources describe applications relevant to automotive, vibration, durability, and engineering validation environments.
