Low Noise, High Resolution Triaxial Accelerometer for Structural Monitoring
Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has just released to production the Model
4332 triaxial accelerometer. This COTS sensor features damped MEMS sensing
technology, an amplified output and is packaged in a rugged aluminum housing with integral cable assembly. It is offered in ranges from ±2 and ±5g with a low-pass filter set at 50Hz.
This temperature compensated device has an operating temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C and complies with IP68 requirements for submersion in water to a ten meter depth.
The Model 4332 was specifically designed for motion analysis in low frequency commercial and military applications such as building monitoring, road bed vibration, bridge safety, rail car comfort, off-road testing, underground throughways, tunnels and passageways.
Designed to be screw-mounted, this device can also be adhesively mounted for tests of
short duration. It operates from 5 - 30VDC excitation and offers a 0.5 - 4.5V full scale output. The output is DC-coupled and is used in single-ended mode.
Each unit is packaged with an NIST traceable calibration certificate. Post sale factory
calibration is supported by MEAS's California Vibration Design Center and its two
manufacturing facilities in China and France. These devices are EAR99 export compliant
and warranted for a period of one year from date of shipment to original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
Measurement Specialties, Inc. designs and manufactures sensors and sensor-based
systems. The company produces a wide variety of sensors and transducers to measure
precise ranges of physical characteristics such as pressure, force, vibration, torque,
position, temperature, humidity, fluid properties, mass air flow and photo optics.
Measurement Specialties uses multiple advanced technologies - including piezo-resistive, electro-optic, electro-magnetic, variable reluctance, magneto resistive, digital encoders, thermistors, thermocouples, RTDs, capacitive, resonant beam, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), piezoelectric polymers and strain gauges to engineer sensors that operate accurately and cost-effectively in customers' applications.
