Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and applications for ASC's MF series capacitive accelerometers, specifically models 4321MF and 4325MF. These sensors are designed for a range of applications including structural monitoring, vehicle testing, and seismic monitoring.

Specifications
  • Range: ±2g to ±200g
  • Response: DC response with gas damping
  • Stability: Excellent bias and scale factor stability
  • Power: Low power consumption with differential mode options
  • Temperature Range: Operates from -40°C to +125°C
  • Shock Resistance: Can withstand shocks up to 6000g
  • Housing: 4321MF features aluminum housing, 4325MF features stainless steel housing

Technology
The accelerometers use capacitive MEMS technology, producing an analog voltage proportional to input acceleration. They can measure both static and dynamic accelerations, suitable for low to medium frequency vibration measurements from 0Hz to 2.5kHz.

Applications
The sensors are applicable in various fields such as:
  • Structural and endurance testing
  • Brake and vibration monitoring
  • Civil engineering and modal analysis
  • Automotive ride quality and comfort
  • Railway engineering and seismic monitoring

Calibration and Quality
The sensors come with factory calibration and can be ordered with DIN ISO 17025 calibration. ASC is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and their calibration laboratory is accredited by DAkkS.

Ordering Information
Model numbers, range, cable length, and connector options are specified for ordering. Example: ASC 4321MF-002-6A indicates a model 4321MF with a 2g range, 6-meter cable, and no connector.

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 MF series capacitive accelerometers, 4321MF and 4325MF, are analog voltage output sensors. The sensors can be powered by a DC power supply (+5V to +40V) where the output voltage is independent of the supply. The sensors operate 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 4321MF and 4325MF operate in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The sensors exhibit exceptional temperature stability, very low non-linearity (<0.5%) and can withstand repetitive shocks as high as 6000g's. ASC Type 4321MF features a lightweight Aluminium housing and Type 4325MF features a rugged, corrosion proof stainless steel housing. The sensors are supplied with 6m integral cable as a standard.
