Product catalog summary
Features:
The ASC 4221MF capacitive accelerometer offers a range from ±2g to ±200g, with a DC response and gas damping. It is known for excellent bias and scale factor stability, low power consumption, and differential mode options. Customization options include cable length, connectors, and a TEDS module.
Applications:
This accelerometer is suitable for structural monitoring and testing, endurance testing, brake tests, vibration monitoring, civil engineering, modal analysis, vehicle testing, automotive ride quality and comfort, railway engineering, and flutter tests.
Description:
The ASC 4221MF is an analog voltage output sensor powered by a DC supply (+5V to +40V). It operates in a differential configuration with a ±2.7V full-scale output, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. The sensor features a small, lightweight aluminum housing and comes with a 6m integral cable as standard.
Technology:
Utilizing capacitive MEMS technology, the sensor measures both static and dynamic accelerations. It is designed for low to medium frequency vibration measurements from 0Hz to 2.5kHz. The MEMS sensor element includes a seismic mass between two conductive plates, with changes in capacitance converted to a low impedance analog voltage output.
Specifications:
  • Dynamic: Range from ±2g to ±200g, sensitivity varies from 1350 mV/g to 13.5 mV/g, frequency response up to 1800 Hz, and shock limit of 6000g.
  • Electrical: Operates with an excitation voltage of 5 to 40V DC, supply current of 5mA, and output impedance of 300Ω.
  • Environmental: Operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C, storage range from -40°C to +100°C, and IP67 sealing.
  • Physical: Made from aluminum, weighs 3 grams without cable, and uses a 12 gram/meter PUR cable.
Calibration:
Factory calibration is provided for ranges from 2g to 200g, with sensitivity and frequency response specified. Additional calibration to DIN ISO 17025 standards is available separately.
Quality:
ASC is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and its calibration laboratory is accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 by DAkkS.

The accelerometers can measure both static (gravity) and dynamic accelerations. ASC's MF series can be used for very low to medium frequency vibration measurements from 0Hz to 2.5kHz. The MF series features a MEMS sensor element where the seismic mass is connected between two conductive capacitor plates. When subjected to an input acceleration, the seismic mass oscillates between the two capacitor plates and there is a change in the capacitance. This change in capacitance is converted via an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) into a low impedance analog voltage output signal. Description ASC's 4221MF capacitive accelerometer is an analog voltage output sensor. The sensor can be powered by a DC power supply (+5V to +40V) where the output voltage is independent of the supply. The sensor operates in a differential configuration with ±2.7V full-scale output. For the full-scale acceleration range, the output swings between 0.3V and 3V. The differential configuration results in an improved S/N ratio and a better performance. ASC Type 4221MF features a small and lightweight Aluminium housing and provides simple mounting. The sensor is supplied with 6m integral cable as a standard. positive Direction ASC GmbH ■ Advanced Sensors & Calibration ■ Ledererstra&e 10 ■ 85276 Pfaffenhofen ■ Germany ■ Tel. +49 8441 786547-0 ■
