The basis for the QG sensors is a micro machined capacitive sensing element in silicium (MEMS). Despite the high accuracy this element has a very high shock resistance; a sensor with a 1G full scale sensitivity can withstand shocks up 20.000G ! The capacitance levels are transformed with an integrated professional amplifier to analogue voltage levels. A range of I/O configurations are possible with the modular setup of complementary circuits inside the sensor. All QG sensors benefit from the robust QUADRO® (PDF) housing.
