Single axis accelerometer

Other R&D applications for the Type 8315 K-Beam capacitive MEMS accelerometer include human motion studies, robotics and platform motion control systems.

Six measuring ranges from ±2 to ± 200g are available with a frequency response of 0 to 1kHz (0-250Hz for 2g), enclosed in a choice of hard anodised aluminium or welded titanium housings. The sensor design is optimised for low frequency applications common to aviation/aerospace, automotive, civil engineering structure, seismic and other R&D studies. A temperature output is provided for use where external temperature compensation of the output signal is required.

Wide supply voltage range, 5 to 50 VDC and 6000 gpk shock rating combined with the availability of a temperature output and integrated signal conditioning make the Type 8315 exceptionally versatile. A choice of adhesive, threaded stud and magnetic mounting bases and connection options facilitate installation.
