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.
