A wide variety of motion sensors is available to measure acceleration, velocity, and speed. The measurement of velocity and speed of both rotary and linear applications is important. The instruments used to measure these values typically do so with indirect methods, such as using piezoelectric elements to measure stress and calculate the amount of motion that results. This section will discuss several of these types of sensors.
