Accelerometer is made for crashing

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 27, 2006

Accelerometer is specifically designed for automotive safety crash testing.

New from Measurement Specialties, the Model 62 accelerometer is specifically designed for automotive safety crash testing.

Compliant with SAE J211 standards for anthropomorphic dummy instrumentation and featuring seismic mass location at its centre point, the Model 62 is available in 50, 200, 500 and 2000g ranges.

This device contains an advanced piezoresistive MEMS sensing element developed at Measurement Specialties' research facilities in Silicon Valley.

This sensor offers exceptional dynamic range and stability and a full bridge output configuration with a compensated temperature range from 0 to +50C.

A slight amount of internal gas damping provides outstanding shock survivability and a flat amplitude/phase response up to 7kHz.

Its screw-mounted design and high impact Teflon-jacketed cable ensures reliable data collection in abusive environments.

Featuring a low zero offset of +/-25mV and +/-1% nonlinearity (FSO), this device can be powered from 2 to 10V DC with signal outputs to 300mV.

Each unit is supplied with a calibration certificate, mounting screws, washers, Allen wrench and 9.1m of integral cable.

Total weight of this miniature device is less than 1g.
