About DJB Instruments

Precision engineering for vibration measurement since 1974

DJB Instruments has been designing and manufacturing high-performance accelerometers, instrumentation, cables and vibration testing accessories for over five decades. From our UK manufacturing facility, we support engineers worldwide with reliable measurement solutions used across automotive, aerospace, defence, energy and advanced research environments.

Built on a legacy of innovation and practical engineering expertise, DJB products are trusted wherever accurate vibration data matters.


Engineering innovation built on experience

Originally established as DJ Birchall Ltd in 1974, DJB Instruments has played a significant role in the development of modern accelerometer technology. The company continues to build on the engineering principles established by founder Don Birchall, including the Konic Shear™ design, which delivers exceptional measurement stability and reduced cross-axis sensitivity.

Today, DJB remains one of the few accelerometer manufacturers designing and manufacturing products in-house, allowing close control over quality, performance and delivery.
