Coming Soon: Next-Level 3-Axis Sensor Motion Monitoring with New Micro-Hybrid TriACCx Sensor

Micro-Hybrid’s new TriACCx sensor measures acceleration along all three axes.

But what does a 3-axis accelerometer do?

A 3-axis accelerometer measures forces from motion and vibration and converts them into electrical signals that show how an object’s velocity changes over time.

Unlike a single-axis sensor, a 3-axis model records acceleration along three perpendicular directions - X, Y, and Z - capturing linear movements and complex vibration patterns. It doesn’t just track “forward” acceleration, but a full picture of how an object vibrates, shakes, and moves in real 3D space.

How it works

Inside the sensor, a MEMS chip contains a tiny spring-mass structure. When motion occurs, the mass shifts slightly, producing an electrical signal proportional to the applied acceleration.

Why three axes matter

In real-world machinery, vibration rarely occurs only along one line. Components often move in multiple directions - tools can vibrate diagonally, impacts can strike at an angle, and imbalances can create complex motion profiles.

A 3-axis accelerometer detects all of these effects at once, providing a complete view of equipment behavior. This data enables faster fault detection, increased operational safety, and reduced downtime.

A New Chapter from Micro-Hybrid

That’s why we’re introducing the TriACCx: a compact, durable triaxial accelerometer for tough industrial and railway environments. Despite its small footprint (20 × 27 × 27 mm), it delivers precise data for static and dynamic monitoring. Built on advanced MEMS technology and certified to DIN EN 50155, it’s designed for reliable operation under extreme conditions. Flexible measuring ranges, a 4-20 mA current output, and an optional IP67 cable version support easy integration and protection against dust and moisture.

Backed by Micro-Hybrid’s decades of expertise in high-performance sensor design and manufacturing, the TriACCx reflects a commitment to precision, quality, and innovation. Long-standing partnerships across industry and railway sectors help ensure every product meets real-world challenges. The TriACCx sets a new standard in three-dimensional motion sensing - its official launch is coming soon.
