IDM Instruments distibute miniature sensors for use in consumer goods.

Photograph of a variety of consumer goods containing miniature sensorsWhether it’s an altimeter built into a wearable band to measure how many steps we climb each day, or a sports watch charting the ascent up one of the world’s highest mountain peaks, our miniature sensors are used to convey critical information for the dashboard of our daily lives.

Dive computer sensors help provide safety in leisure activities, while our piezo film enables your bed to monitor your heart rate, breathing and even how well you sleep.

We’ve been making sensors for wearables before there were wearables. The IDM Instruments team have technical skill in miniaturization, low power consumption, and high-performance.

That’s why out sensors are in harsh environments, from the world’s highest parachute jump to the deepest dive.

Sensor Types

Piezo Film Sensors

Piezo Film Sensors

The piezo film sensors provide durable vibration, accelerometer, or dynamic switch elements for a wide range of markets and applications.
Torque Sensors

Torque Sensors

Our torque sensors use advanced strain gage technology to satisfy the most demanding requirements for static and dynamic applications.
Vibration Sensors

Vibration Sensors

Our supplier has 20 years of designing and manufacturing vibration sensors based on proprietary Microelectromechanical System (MEMS), bonded gage and piezoelectric ceramic/film technologies. Voltage mode piezoelectric is the most popular accelerometer design due to its high level output and wide bandwidth.
Water Level Sensors

Water Level Sensors

We are a leading supplier of of water level and water quality sensors. Our expertise in media isolated pressure sensors offers unique advantages in creative product development and consistent product performance.
