Multi-Axial Accelerometers

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Series 3001 Multi-Axial Accelerometers are hermetically sealed instruments designed for measuring acceleration across one, two, or three axes: vertical, longitudinal, and lateral. These accelerometers are suitable for use in military and commercial aircraft, compatible with digital flight data acquisition and recording systems, and meet FAA and other international regulatory standards.

Specifications
  • Electrical Characteristics: The accelerometers operate within a range of +6G to -3G for vertical, +1G for longitudinal, and +1G for lateral axes. They require an excitation voltage of 21-32 VDC and have a maximum output of 6.5 VDC with an accuracy of 0.75% FSO.
  • Environmental Characteristics: Operating temperature ranges from -65°F to 185°F, with a compensated range up to 160°F. They can withstand vibrations from 5-2000 Hz and shocks with a peak acceleration of 6G.
  • Mechanical Characteristics: The units are compact and lightweight, with dimensions varying slightly depending on the model, and a maximum weight of 24 oz.

Compliance and Approvals
The accelerometers comply with ARINC specifications 573, 717, and 542A, and are tested to TSO C51a and RTCA DO-160 standards. They are certified for use with flight data recorder systems or STC.

Applications
These accelerometers are primarily used for digital flight data recording as per ARINC 542, 573, and 717 standards.

Options
Available options include configurations for multiple axes, special ranges, and special output requirements.

Ordering Information
The ordering information includes axis range and output specifications, with detailed pin configurations provided for different mounting bases.

Multi-Axial Accelerometers-1

Multi-Axial Accelerometers DESCRIPTION Series 3001 Multi-Axial accelerometers are hermetically sealed instruments for simultaneous measurement of acceleration on one, two, or three axes: vertical, longitudinal, and lateral. These accelerometers consist of up to three separate, rugged seismic sensors responding to forces along each axis. Each sensor consists of a bending beam, with strain-gages forming a full Wheatstone Bridge, and a mass. An advanced solid-state electronic signal conditioning package compliments the mechanical configuration. These units are designed for use in military and commercial aircraft which utilize digital flight data acquisition and recording systems. Each of the accelerometers meets the mandatory requirements of FAA and other worldwide regulatory agencies. They are designed to ARINC specifications 573 and 717, and tested to TSO C51a and RTCA DO-160. They are directly interchangeable with any accelerometer now in service and are compatible with any digital flight data recording system.
