MicroFused Sensors, a division of Measurement Specialties, has a new low cost pressure transducer for medium- to high-volume commercial and industrial OEM applications.
The Model 52 is adhesively secured to the test surface.
The flexible, 9.144m, four conductor cable easily winds through channels and obstructions to instrumentation and power supply.
The low cost of the Model 52 compared with existing sensing alternatives in the marketplace makes it the unit of choice for side Impact crash tests where the sensor is at most risk of being damaged and needs to be regarded as disposable.
Operating from 2 to 10V dc, the Model 52 is available in ranges from 50 to 2000g.
Depending on range, frequency response flat to 7000Hz is available.
This four-arm Wheatstone Bridge device is less than 10.16mm in length and 3.81mm in height.
It offers an operating temperature range of -40 to 85C and linearity of +/-1%.
The underlying MEMS technology and the innovative design for this sensor stems from Measurement Specialties' research and vibration design facilities in Fremont and Aliso Viejo California.
