Description
Piezo Vibration Sensor - Small Horizontal - MiniSense 100H
The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and ‘tap’ inputs from a user. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) are created when the film moves back and forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage down to ADC levels. Can also be used for impact sensing or a flexible switch.
Comes with machine pins that allow for horizontal mounting.
We’ve seen this used as great musical inputs, but other applications include; Washing Machine Load Imbalance, Vehicle Motion Sensor, Anti-Theft Devices, Vital Signs Monitoring, Tamper Detection, Impact Sensing.
