Description

Overview
Triaxial ASC 5421MF sensors are MEMS-based capacitive accelerometers delivering a differential analog voltage output. Designed for industrial test and monitoring tasks, the MF (Medium-Frequency) series provides wide bandwidth, high shock tolerance and a flexible supply voltage range.

Technology
Built on capacitive MEMS technology, the ASC 5421MF integrates conditioning electronics to provide a differential analog output (±2.7 V FSO). The device accepts a supply voltage from 5 to 40 VDC and offers a flat frequency response up to 7 kHz (±3 dB), with shock resistance up to 6,000 g.

Housing
The sensors feature a lightweight aluminum housing with protection class IP65. An integrated cable is provided; cable length and connector type can be configured to application requirements.

Applications
The triaxial design enables measurement of small accelerations in three degrees of freedom. Typical uses include test benches, vehicle and road monitoring, structural dynamics, and resonance/flutter testing in aerospace and automotive applications.
