Compared to consumer MEMS sensors, what is a typical advantage of specialized quartz IEPE sensors in industrial testing?
Answer
The ability to measure tens of thousands of g's with high-frequency response
Specialized quartz IEPE sensors are designed for demanding industrial tests, capable of measuring extremely high forces (tens of thousands of g's) and responding quickly across a bandwidth extending well into the ultrasonic range.
