How an Accelerometer Works. Accelerometers are electromechanical devices that sense either static or dynamic forces of acceleration. Static forces include gravity, while dynamic forces can include vibrations and movement. Accelerometers can measure acceleration on one, two, or three axes.
Because of the versatility of the accelerometer, various incarnations of the device can be utilized in many different applications. Auto manufacturers often use the accelerometer to measure the overall vibration on new vehicle designs, to ensure the rate of vibration is within the standards employed by the company.
