High Performance Variable Capacitance Accelerometers

Dytran Instruments, Inc. is pleased to introduce a new line of DC accelerometers using variable capacitance technology. This capacitive micromachined accelerometer provides a ±2V differential output for ±2V single ended output with a 2.5 VDC offset. The 7500A series of accelerometers can be powered with a DC power supplying +9 to +32 VDC. The series is available in ranges from 2g to 200g, features low noise electronics, a 4-pin connector, and rugged titanium construction. This unit can operate at high temperatures, is hermetically sealed and has a removable cable.
