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 accelerometers are offered in ranges from +/-2 to +/-2000g which makes it suitable for both low-level measurements and high-end transient shock measurements.
Integral overrange stops designed into the MEMS sensing element provide shock protection to over 10,000g without affecting the unit calibration.
The model 3801A offers a millivolt output signal for shock pulse measurements, whereas the model 4801A offers a signal-conditioned amplified output for low-level measurements.
The model 4801A incorporates a custom ASIC for high-end integral temperature compensation that provides exceptional temperature performance over a wide operating range from -55 to +125C.
The model 3801A and model 4801A accelerometers incorporate the popular 10-32 stud mounting and have a 5-pin side-mount connector for ease of installation.
With the hermetically sealed stainless-steel housing and detachable cable, these accelerometers will be suitable for a wide range of applications including flight testing, environmental testing, transportation measurements and shock testing.
