Accelerometer, Shock / Vibration Sensors

Accelerometers and vibration sensors play a vital role in applications where accurate measurement of acceleration, vibration or shock is required. These sensors measure acceleration, including gravitational and dynamic acceleration. Inside every accelerometer is a highly engineered sensing element, typically a damped mass suspended on a spring; which converts mechanical movement into an electrical signal. Depending on the design, the sensing technology may use piezoelectric, piezoresistive or capacitive materials to deliver reliable vibration measurement.

Bestech Australia supplies an extensive range of accelerometer vibration sensors engineered for precision testing, condition monitoring and research applications. Our portfolio covers everything from high-frequency vibration measurement to low-frequency or steady-state acceleration, making them suitable for industrial, scientific and defence environments.

Types of Accelerometers & Their Applications

Piezoelectric & IEPE Accelerometers

Our charge-type piezoelectric and IEPE accelerometers are designed for general vibration measurement. They are widely used in condition monitoring, vibration analysis, structural health assessment, and routine predictive maintenance. These sensors are ideal for applications such as:

  • Rotating machinery condition monitoring
  • Vibration testing in manufacturing
  • Seismic or ground vibration studies
  • Flight testing and aircraft health monitoring

Piezoresistive Accelerometers (DC-Response)

DC-response piezoresistive accelerometers are built to capture both steady-state and low-frequency signals. They are highly suited for:

  • Shock and impact testing
  • Automotive crash testing and blast testing
  • Ballistic and missile research
  • Inertial navigation applications, including drone-mounted systems

Variable Capacitance Accelerometers

For applications requiring high sensitivity and low noise performance, variable capacitance accelerometers are a preferred choice. They support:

  • Seismic measurement
  • Low-frequency vibration testing
  • Automotive NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) studies
  • Structural monitoring and precision motion measurement

Industry-Ready Vibration Measurement Solutions

Bestech Australia provides vibration sensors to meet the demanding requirements of industrial plants, laboratories, and field testing programs. Our accelerometers are trusted across major sectors, including:

  • Defence & military testing
  • Aerospace and missile development
  • Automotive crash testing and NVH evaluation
  • Mining, marine and offshore structures
  • Geotechnical and seismic monitoring
