We have three accelerometers for different uses. These small devices can be mounted on objects to study motion. All are individually calibrated.
Low-g Accelerometer
This is the best choice for most experiments. Use it for studying the one-dimensional motion of a car (real and toy), elevator, pendulum bob, or amusement park ride.
Range: -50 to +50 m/s2
Typical accuracy: ±0.1 m/s2
Order Code: VR105480 Price £ ex VAT.

This is great for studying one-dimensional collisions or any motion with larger accelerations.
Range: -250 to +250 m/s2
Typical accuracy: ±1 m/s2
Order Code: VR105472 Price £ ex VAT.
This is really three Low-g Accelerometers mounted at right angles and all placed in a small box. Use it for studying the complex motion of an amusement park ride, a bungee jumper, or simply a toss in the air.
Range: -50 to +50 m/s2
Typical accuracy: ±0.1 m/s2
Order Code: VR105464 Price £ ex VAT.
