Catalogue showcases the latest accelerometer range, including versatile DC response accelerometers.

Bruel and Kjaer has published a new version of its accelerometer and conditioning product catalogue to showcase its latest product range, including its versatile DC response accelerometers.

These microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) DC response accelerometers are designed to be incredibly robust and are suitable for testing dynamic acceleration effects on a number of applications, from automotive to aerospace.

They can withstand high mechanical shocks of up to 10,000g and have been gas-damped, making them resistant to temperatures ranging from -54 to +121C.

Ideal for measuring low frequency, motion and the tilt of objects under constant force, the DC Accelerometers can be used for studying acceleration effects within many industries including aerospace (for testing aircrafts, missiles, helicopters and satellites) and automotive manufacturers (for testing airbags and seats).

They are also suitable for railways, ground transportation testing, structural testing and even studies on whole body motion.

Bruel and Kjaer's DC response accelerometers are individually calibrated to provide a specified frequency range and offer two operating temperature ranges to suit customer requirements.
