ADXL335 Triple-Axis Accelerometer Module – Analog Motion & Tilt Sensor

The ADXL335 is a high-precision triple-axis accelerometer module designed to measure acceleration, tilt, and motion along the X, Y, and Z axes. It provides analog voltage outputs that are directly proportional to acceleration, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers and analog-to-digital converters. The module is known for its low power consumption, high sensitivity, and stable performance, making it suitable for a wide range of motion-sensing applications. It is widely used in robotics, vibration monitoring, tilt detection, and embedded systems, and works seamlessly with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, PIC, AVR, and STM32 platforms.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The ADXL335 uses micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology to detect acceleration. Inside the sensor, tiny capacitive structures respond to movement or tilt by changing their electrical characteristics. These changes are converted into analog voltage signals for each axis. By analyzing the voltage levels on the X, Y, and Z outputs, a controller can determine acceleration, orientation, tilt angle, or vibration intensity. Because the output is analog, the sensor allows smooth and continuous motion measurement, which is ideal for precise motion analysis and control.

KEY FEATURES

The module measures acceleration along three axes with a range of ±3g and provides analog voltage outputs proportional to acceleration on each axis. It operates within a voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V and is optimized for low power consumption. The ADXL335 offers high sensitivity, low noise performance, and reliable, stable operation. Its compact and lightweight design makes it suitable for portable and space-constrained applications.

APPLICATIONS

The ADXL335 Accelerometer Module is ideal for motion and tilt sensing, robotics and drone projects, vibration monitoring, gesture control systems, automotive electronics, gaming controllers, wearable devices, and educational or research projects. Its analog output makes it especially useful for applications requiring smooth and precise motion data.

WHY CHOOSE ADXL335

The ADXL335 provides accurate analog acceleration measurements, low power usage, and simple integration with a wide range of microcontrollers. Its reliability, precision, and ease of use make it an excellent choice for both beginners and professional developers working on motion-based and orientation-sensitive applications.
