What is the difference between a vibration sensor and an accelerometer?
An accelerometer measures a quality of acceleration, not necessarily vibration. But vibration sensors, which measure a quantity of acceleration and are therefore a type of accelerometer, are by definition accelerometers. A vibration sensor typically contains a piezoelectric crystal element bonded to a mass.Sep 9, 2014
