Solid state accelerometers provide rugged accuracy

The transducer incorporates positive mechanical stops in an aluminium housing, providing tremendous shock resistance.

Sherborne Sensors' A700 range of solid state accelerometers offer accuracy in a highly robust, miniature and cost-effective package.

A micro-machined piezo-resistive strain gauge bridge silicon sensor incorporates an air damping feature.

Unlike fluid damped devices, air damping is essentially independent of temperature.

The units are fully compensated for the effects of temperature on both sensitivity and zero.

The transducer incorporates positive mechanical stops in an aluminium housing, providing tremendous shock resistance.

The A700 series provides servo-accelerometer performance in a package that weighs less than 50g and costs little more than a traditional product.

The launch models are the single-axis A710-0001 and A710-0101 and the dual-axis A720-0001 and A720-0101.

These are available in ranges from +/-0.5 to +/-5g.

The -0101 variants are supplied with a characteristic error correction equation to give accuracies better than +/-1mg.

The A700 range is suited to a applications such as data acquisition systems, crash recorders, fatigue life monitoring and prediction; monitoring and controlling deceleration in mass transit systems; road bed analysis and fault detection equipment for high-speed railways; military and civil flight simulators; autopilots and low-frequency vibration monitoring.
