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.
One of the more common examples of the modern accelerometer is known as a MEMS device. Essentially, the MEMS or micro electro-mechanical system is a simple device that functions mainly with the use of a cantilever beam and circuits that are designed for the purpose of detecting the presence of deflection sensing.
