Description

The ASC 61C1 is a uniaxial accelerometer utilizing piezoresistive technology, factory calibrated, and compliant with SAE J211 specifications. It features a flat, hard anodized aluminum housing, making it suitable for lightweight structure testing. The sensor is highly shock-resistant due to integrated overload stops and offers excellent non-linearity over a wide frequency response. It is configured as a Wheatstone Bridge and comes with a 6-meter flexible and rugged cable.

Piezoresistive MEMS Technology

The accelerometer uses advanced piezoresistive MEMS technology, suitable for low-frequency responses starting from 0Hz. The sensor element consists of monolithic resistors connected in a Wheatstone bridge, providing a proportional electrical signal to vibration.

Piezoresistive Accelerometer Uniaxial Wheatstone Bridge mV Output Specification SAE J211 Aluminium Housing Made in Germany Features  Range: 500g, 1000g and 2000g  Small Size  Light Weight  DC Response  ±5000g Shock Resistance  Gas Damped  3-10Vdc Excitation Piezoresistive MEMS Technology The accelerometers are based on an advanced piezoresistive MEMS technology and can be used in a low frequency response up from 0Hz. The piezoresistive sensor element is made of monolithic resistors. These resistors are attached to carrier-elements and are electrically connected in a Wheatstone bridge. The electrical signal changes proportional to the vibration. Description Options  Customised Cable Length  Customised Connector  TEDS Module  Equipment Exchange (EQX) The model ASC 61C1 is an uniaxial accelerometer based on piezoresistive technology and factory calibrated. The ASC 61C1 is a small and compact accelerometer which meets the specification SAE J211. Its housing is a flat design and hard anodised aluminium. Due to its low mass this model is ideal for testing light weight structures. Applications  Automotive Crash Testing  Shock Testing The sensing element has integrated overload stops and therefore the silicon chip is highly shock resistant. The ASC 61C1 has an excellent non-linearity over a wide frequency response. Electrically it is configured as a Wheatstone Bridge. The ASC 61C1 can be obtained with all common sensor ID modules. A very high flexible and rugged cable provides a simple mounting. The ASC 61C1 is equipped as standard with 6 meter of this cable.
