Product catalog summary
Overview
The ASC 5721 is a triaxial accelerometer utilizing capacitive MEMS technology, designed for applications such as structural monitoring, endurance testing, and vibration monitoring. It features a range of ±1g to ±200g, DC response, gas damping, and excellent bias and scale factor stability. The device is known for low power consumption and single-ended mode operation.

Specifications
  • Dynamic Range: ±1g to ±200g
  • Sensitivity: Varies from 2000 mV/g to 10 mV/g depending on the range
  • Frequency Response: Up to 1000 Hz with ±5% accuracy
  • Shock Limit: ±5000g
  • Electrical: Operates on 8-30 V DC with a supply current of 2 mA
  • Environmental: Operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C, epoxy sealed for humidity protection
  • Physical: Made from aluminum, weighs 27 grams without cable, and includes a 6-meter cable as standard

Technology
The accelerometer is based on capacitive MEMS technology, allowing for low-frequency response starting from 0 Hz. The seismic mass within the sensor element oscillates between two conductive capacitor plates, changing capacitance, which is then converted into an analog signal via an ASIC.

Calibration
The sensor is factory calibrated and temperature compensated. It is available with calibration compliant with DIN ISO 17025 standards, which can be ordered separately.

Options and Customization
Custom cable lengths and connectors are available, along with a TEDS module for enhanced functionality.

Applications
Suitable for a wide range of applications including structural monitoring, brake testing, civil engineering, vehicle testing, and more.

MEMS Capacitive Accelerometer ► Triaxial ► 8 or 12 Wire System ► Amplified Output ► Made in Germany Features ► Range: ±1g to ±200g ► DC Response ► Gas Damped ► Excellent Bias and Scale Factor Stability ► Low Power Consumption ► Single Ended Mode Capacitive MEMS Technology The accelerometers are based on a capacitive MEMS technology and can be used in a low frequency response up from 0Hz. Inside the sensor element, the seismic mass is connected with two conductive capacitor plates. If the seismic mass oscillates between the two capacitor plates the capacitance will change. This capacitance change is converted via an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) into an analog signal. Description Options ► Customised Cable Length ► Customised Connector ► TEDS Module Applications ► Structural Monitoring and Testing ► Endurance Testing ► Brake Test ► Vibration Monitoring ► Civil Engineering ► Modal Analysis ► Vehicle Testing ► Automotive Ride Quality & Comfort ► Railway Engineering ► Flutter Test The model ASC 5721 is a triaxial accelerometer based on capacitive MEMS technology. It is fully temperature compensated and factory calibrated. The sensor has specifically been developed for monitoring, tilt and comfort vibration measurings. The four wire output can be connected to all data management systems. The hard anodized aluminium housing is epoxy sealed and ground isolated. The model ASC 5721 is based on Low Noise technology which provides an excellent resolution. Because capacitive technology is used, extremely small measuring ranges arepossible. The amplified output is easy to use with a data acquisition unit. The signal is independent from the power between +8VDC to +30VDC. A very high flexible and rugged cable provides a simple mounting. The ASC 5721 is equipped with 6 meter cable as standard. ASC GmbH ■ Advanced Sensors Calibration ■ Ledererstra&e 10 ■ 85276 Pfaffenhofen ■ Germany ■ Tel. +49 (0) 8441 786 547 -0 ■
