Economical Low-g Accelerometer for Low Frequency Applications
August 27, 2008, Aliso Viejo, CA - Measurement Specialties has introduced the new Model 4000A accelerometer which is an economical signal conditioned accelerometer with integral temperature compensation. The accelerometer incorporates a 3rd generation silicone MEMS sensor providing outstanding performance. The accelerometer is packaged in a rugged aluminum housing ideal for transportation and instrumentation testing. Options are offered for dynamic ranges from ±2g to ±200g. Operating from 8 to 32 Vdc power supply, the Model 4000A draws a minimal of 5mA of current, while operating over a -20°C to +85°C temperature range.
The underlying MEMS technology and innovative design of the Model 4000A stems from Measurement Specialties, Inc. research and vibration design facilities in Fremont and Aliso Viejo, California.
