Motion Sensors / Detectors / Transducers

Low Noise Sensors provide measurements in micro-G range.

Designed for use in seismic and low level, low frequency motion studies, Models SA-107LN, SA-207LN, and SA-307LN are single-, 2-, and 3-axis servo accelerometers, respectively. In addition to DC-coupled zero output, units provide AC-coupled zero output, which eliminates tilt induced or offset errors. Self-contained units feature +15 Vdc operation and require no signal conditioning. Applications...
