Inertial Aerosystems announced the availability of a new addition to its range of rugged, low cost, triaxial analogue accelerometers. Designated the 2470 range, it is manufactured by U.S. based Silicon Designs Inc. The range consists of seven models that cover DC and dynamic accelerations from +/-2g to +/-200g full scale. Utilising established MEMS technology they have an extensive temperature range of-55 to 110 degrees C.

These innovative products incorporate three orthogonal mounted accelerometers, with each axis independently powered. The unit is enclosed in a rugged lightweight epoxy sealed anodised case. Inside is a circuit assembly on an innovative flexible board, to help withstand shock and vibration.

Featuring low noise <12µg√Hz (2g range), .5% linearity and a power range of 8 to 32 V DC. These modules are tailored for zero to medium frequency applications, whilst onboard voltage regulation and an internal voltage reference eliminate the need for precision power supplies. The range is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. The 2470 comes with a 1Metre 8 wire cable and is able to drive up to 15 metres of additional cable. These products are ideal for use in tough environments where space and weight are at a premium. Shock resistant to 2000g (.1msec).

Applications include crash testing, vibration monitoring and analysis, model analysis, robotics, flight testing, machine control and instrumentation.
