2D ACCELEROMETER

2D Accelerometer

Acceleration sensor
for Noraxon cable and telemetry systems

  • Measures the acceleration forces and vibration in G
  • 2 dimensions can be measured simultaneously
  • Small dimensions and very lightweight
  • Available in 2 or 10G versions

The very small and lightweight acceleration sensor is especially designed for use with human and animal surfaces and body segments. Due to its small weight and mass, it is easy to attach and provides accurate data. Attached to non biological material and bodies, it can measure impact forces up to 10G.

Small and lightweight construction

Due to its small size (22 by 16 mm), the sensor is easy to attach to any surface. Its very low weight (2.8gm) avoids sensor-related swinging artifacts.

The sensor has a predefined measurement setup in all the Noraxon software packages and is operational in a few seconds:

Application Examples

The sensor construction guarantees an effective use in a variety of application areas, such as medical research, sports analysis, rehabilitation, ergonomics and robotics. It can be used to detect ground contact (heel strike) in walking and running, motion vibration in medical tremor analysis or impact and shock impulses in sports specific equipment or ergonomical tools.

2D Accelerometer

The Accelerometer is mounted (double sided adhesive tape) to the tibia bone, addressing acceleration data in gait analysis.

2D Accelerometer

 

 

The accelerometer is mounted to a lever arm of a weight stack training machine, addressing vibration effects within axis rotation.

2D Accelerometer

By using a special Velcro strap attachment, the accelerometer can easily be used to measure the tremor of patients.
