Vibration units convertion

Vibration units convertion

Vibration units convertion

(OP)
Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to get a signal from my accelerometer sensor, which its sensivity is 100mV/g, and convert it to velocity (mm/s).
Does anyone knows how do it?

Best regards,

Adriano

F=ma

a=dv/dt

What are you using to receive and process the signal?

RE: Vibration units convertion

You need to get the units right, and and then you might want to filter it, and then you need to integrate it. The latter can be done in the time domain or the frequency domain.

So, the right units are 100 mV=9810 mm/s/s, or 1V=98100 mm/s/s. You need to set that on a knob or type it into table, depending on your instrumentation.

Filtering I won't discuss in a little text box.

Integrating in the time domain can be done with an integrating amp, or digitally.

Cheers

Greg Locock
