Original Press Release:



New Series of Rugged, Precision Accelerometers Available for Quick Shipment



Akron, OH - Spectrum Sensors & Controls introduces a line of quick-ship analog accelerometers available in customer-specified configurations and fully calibrated. New XL403A accelerometers enable test engineers to quickly get a rugged, precision accelerometer configured to deliver proper measurements in a project. Single, dual and triaxial versions are available in any full-scale range from ±1 g to ±15 g, with bandwidths up to 800 Hz.

Spectrum Sensors XL403A quick-ship accelerometers offer a prompt solution when delivery time is critical, providing measurements in less time than traditional built-to-order accelerometers. Final testing and calibration is expedited, allowing data collection to begin in less than a week, on average.

These MEMS-based analog accelerometers are cost-effective, rugged and reliable, measuring acceleration up to ±15 g, along with internal temperature. They are fully compensated, providing high accuracy and linearity over the -40 ºC to +85 ºC temperature range. Extensively tested to meet specifications before shipment, each unit is supplied with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. The small size and rugged construction of the XL403A allows for easy installation and reliable performance.

Standard quick-ship termination option is a four-foot cable with DB9M connector. Other custom options are available at traditional production times, and fully customized designs may be available upon request. Pricing for the XL403A starts at $495, depending on quantity and configuration.
