Wireless Acceleration/Altimeter - PS-3223
The Wireless 3-Axis Accelerometer / Altimeter can measure acceleration, angular velocity in three dimensions, and altitude making it ideal for physics experiments.
Product Summary
This 3-axis accelerometer comes housed in a rubberized case to absorb the shock of high accelerations during classroom physics experiments and demonstrations. The wireless nature of the sensor allows it to stream live data to either Capstone or SPARKvue for live classroom demonstrations measuring accelerations, angular velocity, and altitude. This sensor is ideal for collecting data on roller coaster rides!
Depending on your experiment, the Wireless Acceleration/Altimeter allows you to change the acceleration range for optimal results:
- ±16 g
- ±100 g
- ±200 g
- ±400 g
The rubberized case is fitted with slots to feed the included strap through which allows for easy mounting to objects such as a bike frame. Other through holes are available for customer mounting options. Also included is a thumbscrew that screws into the case to attach it to a bracket.
The Wireless 3-Axis Acceleration / Altimeter measures all of the following:
- Acceleration – X (m/s²)
- Acceleration – Y (m/s²)
- Acceleration – Z (m/s²)
- Acceleration – Resultant (m/s²)
- Angular Velocity – X (rad/s)
- Angular Velocity – Y (rad/s)
- Angular Velocity – Z (rad/s)
- Altitude (m)
