ASC 66C1 Piezoresistive Accelerometer

Uniaxial, small and compact acceleration sensor for testing light weight structures


About the ASC 66C1 Piezoresistive Accelerometer

The accelerometers are based on an advanced piezoresistive MEMS technology and can be used in a low frequency response up from 0Hz. The piezoresistive sensor element is made of monolithic resistors. These resistors are attached to carrier-elements and are electrically connected in a Wheatstone bridge. The electrical signal changes proportional to the vibration.

The model ASC 66C1 is a uniaxial accelerometer based on piezoresistive technology. The ASC 66C1 is a small and compact accelerometer. The housing is a flat design made of hard anodised aluminium. Due to low mass, the model is ideal for testing on light-weight structures.

The sensing element has integrated overload stops and therefore the silicon chip is highly shock resistant. The ASC 66C1 has an excellent non-linearity over a wide frequency response. Electrically the units features a Wheatstone bridge configuration.

The model ASC 66C1 can be obtained with all common sensor ID modules. A very high flexible and rugged cable provides a simple mounting. The model ASC 66C1 is factory calibrated and is equipped with 6 meter cable as a standard.
