High-Performance Surface Mount Accelerometers
Our high-performance surface mount MEMS DC accelerometers are engineered to meet the demands of advanced UAV and robotics applications, while maintaining the ruggedness and dependability characteristic of our industrial-grade products. Each compact, hermetically-sealed unit features a MEMS capacitive sensing element and a custom integrated circuit with a built-in sense amplifier and differential output stage, ensuring exceptional long-term stability and minimal sensitivity to temperature fluctuations.
Advanced Inertial & Reference Accelerometer Modules
Our Q-Modules transform our inertial-grade surface mount MEMS accelerometers into low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) solutions with standard industry form factors, allowing them to serve as direct replacements for conventional quartz accelerometers. These modules ensure pin and form factor compatibility, along with industrial-grade durability and a broad operating temperature range.
Additionally, we offer a precision reference calibration module, perfect for accurately assessing the sensitivity and frequency response of various MEMS DC accelerometers.This module features a 4-wire pigtail, making it compatible with nearly any data acquisition system, and is ideal for performance specification comparisons, zero-to-medium frequency instrumentation tasks, and equipment calibration.
Durable Industrial Surface Mount Accelerometers
Our robust and cost-efficient industrial-grade surface mount MEMS DC accelerometers are perfectly suited for UAV and robotics OEMs, catering to a wide array of applications such as drone flight control, platform stabilization, and operations involving UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles).These high-reliability accelerometers feature a MEMS capacitive sensing element and a custom IC with an integrated sense amplifier and differential output stage, available in various g-range options.
Accelerometer Modules for Industrial and Measurement Applications
We offer a comprehensive range of single- and three-axis accelerometer modules based on our industrial-grade surface mount MEMS accelerometers. With g-range options from ±2g to ±400g, these modules are ideally suited for research and advancement in drones and robotics, as well as for test and measurement applications. Each module is self-contained, featuring internal amplifiers and power regulation, and undergoes rigorous factory testing and calibration prior to shipment.
