Single axis accelerometer
±1 - ±20 g, ±5 VDC | A215/220 series Sherborne Sensors Limited

Sherborne Sensors A215/220 series servo accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy using a closed loop force balance
torquer mechanism.

Typical applications include data acquisition systems, crash recorders, fatigue life monitoring and prediction; for stabilising platforms on space and ship borne satellite tracking systems; monitoring and controlling deceleration in mass transit systems; road bed analysis and fault detection equipment for high speed railways; military and civil flight simulators; autopilots and low frequency vibration monitoring.

Sherborne Sensors A215/220 series accelerometers operate as a closed loop torque balance servo system. The system is damped by means of a phase advancing network within the integrated thick film module. The A215/220 series servo operation can be checked (self-test) after installation by applying an
independent current input to the torquer motor.

By adjusting the parameters of the servo amplifier and related electronic networks, the operating characteristics of a servo accelerometer can be changed or modified to suit a particular application.
