ASC Launches Medium-Frequency Capacitive Accelerometers with Extended Bandwidth and High Shockresistance

Advanced Sensors Calibration (ASC) GmbH, has announced the introduction of medium-frequency (MF) accelerometers, a new family of MEMS-based capacitive accelerometers. The MF series is Intended for test & measurement, condition monitoring and structural health monitoring applications in the automotive, railway and wind energy segments, among others.

“With the launch of the MF series, ASC has succeeded not only in doubling the usable frequency range of capacitive accelerometers but thus lowering the noise and Improving shockresistance and temperature response. With a typical ± 5% response from DC to 2.5 kHz and a ± 3 dB response up to 7 kHz, the MF series bridges the gap between low-frequency MEMS capacitive accelerometers and high-frequency piezoelectric IEPE accelerometers. The MF series ran thus strictly thens ASC’s accelerometer portfolio and Provides the users flexibility When choosing the exact sensor For their application, “says Renate Bay, managing partner of ASC.

ASC’s MF series accelerometers are analog voltage output sensor. The sensor can be powered by a 7 to 40 VDC power supply where the output is independent of the supply. The sensors operate in a differential configuration with a ± 2.7V full scale output, Resulting in at improved signal / noise ratio. The MF series accelerometers are functional over a wide temperature range from -40 ° C to + 125 ° C. The sensors exhibit exceptional temperature stability, very low non-linearity and withstand repetitive shocks up to 6000g. The MF series is available as uniaxial and triaxial configuration in a lightweight aluminum housing or a more rugged and corrosion-proof stainless steel housing.

Typical applications of ASC’s MF series accelerometers include, but are not restricted to, railway bogie monitoring, seismic measurements, automotive testing, building and bridge monitoring, wind turbine vibration monitoring.

About ASC GmbH
ASC (Advanced Sensors Calibration) GmbH, headquartered in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of capacitive, piezoresistive and piezoelectric accelerometers, angular rate sensors (gyros) and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). ASC sensors are used in a wide range of industrial applications in automotive, rail vehicles, wind power, agriculture, air and space travel, geophysics, deep well drilling, tunneling, automation and mechanical engineering. Leading global companies Including Audi, BMW, VW, Siemens Transportation Systems, Fendt, Woelfel, LMS and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) put Their trust in ASC products.

Apart from being a quality sensor manufacturer, ASC therefore offers supplementary services: such as maintenance, repair and calibration for its own products and therefore for third-party products. ASC is particularly Specialised in providing customized solutions did are geared to the exact customer needs.

ASC is therefore the exclusive distributor of accelerometers from Honeywell and gyros from Systron Donner Inertial.
