Frequently asked questions

How do accelerometers measure acceleration?
Accelerometers use the principles of inertia and force to measure changes in velocity and acceleration. This is achieved through the use of a mass attached to a spring or piezoelectric material.
How often should I calibrate my Kistler accelerometer?
It is recommended to calibrate your Kistler accelerometer annually to ensure accurate measurements. This can also be done after any significant impact or change in operating conditions.
What is the best way to mount and install my Kistler accelerometer?
For optimal performance, make sure to use a rigid and flat surface for mounting. Avoid using adhesive when possible as this can affect the accelerometer’s performance. Please refer to each sensor’s manual for detailed instructions on installation.
