Which acceleration data logger is best suited for my measurement task?
This question is not so easy to answer, because the required measuring range of an acceleration data logger depends on the respective measuring task. Each object - for example a transport item - reacts in a specific way to the applied load, therefore no general statements can be made.
In principle, it is recommended that the mechanical stresses and the actual effect on the object should be determined experimentally with acceleration sensors during (as far as possible) real loading (e.g. transport).
First of all, however, basic questions should be clarified, such as:
- What is an acceleration data logger?
- How can vibrations be recorded?
- What is meant by a shock?
- What methods can be used to detect damage to goods in transit caused by shocks?
- What does the "Fast Peak" function mean?
- Which MSR data logger is particularly suitable for which measuring task?
We address these and other questions in the MSR basic paper, which we make available to you for download below. As a specialist for acceleration measurements, we are anxious to help you with our expertise. Of course, the following basics do not replace the personal advice of a sales consultant.
