Product catalog summary
Overview
Meggitt Sensing Systems specializes in various measurement products including LVDTs, inertial systems, inclinometers, accelerometers, IMUs, MEMS sensors, servo-inclinometers, and conditioners. The Model SX40000 is a high-performance MEMS accelerometer available in single and twin-axis configurations, designed for severe environments.

Characteristics
The SX40000 offers a range of ±0.25g and ±1g, with outputs available via USB 2.0, RS485 Modbus RTU, and 4-20mA. It is engineered for environments with shocks, vibrations, and electromagnetic perturbations, ensuring very long-term stability and high performance. It conforms to EMI 50121-3-2 V2006 and EN 61326-1 V2013 standards.

Applications
This accelerometer is suitable for linear acceleration/deceleration measurements, automatic train position control, tilting trains, and low-frequency vibration measurements such as seismic monitoring.

Performance
The device features a maximum non-linearity of less than 0.05% of full scale, a resolution of less than 0.01mg, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It supports a power supply range from +4.5 to +30VDC and offers adjustable bandwidth between 0.01Hz and 10Hz.

Mechanical and Electrical Characteristics
The accelerometer is housed in anodized aluminum, measuring 95x51x38 mm and weighing less than 220g. It features a sensitive axis alignment with respect to the enclosure of less than ±5mrad. The power consumption is less than 60mA for single-axis and less than 100mA for twin-axis versions. Output signals include RS485, USB 2.0, and 4-20mA.

Operating Conditions
The SX40000 complies with railway standard EN50155 V2007 and EMC 50121-3-2 V2006. It operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C and can withstand storage temperatures from -55°C to +85°C. It is designed to survive random vibrations of 10grms/20-2000Hz and shocks of 200g/6ms, with an IP67 protection rating.

Aerospace Energy Measurement Railway Sensorex® High performance MEMS accelerometer, single & twin axis Model SX40000 Characteristics • Range: ±0.25g, ±1g • USB 2.0, 2 wires RS485 Modbus RTU, 4-20mA • Specially designed for severe environments (shocks, vibrations, electromagnetic perturbations) • Very long term stability • High performances • Conform to: EMI 50121-3-2 V2006/ EN 61326-1 V2013 • Linear acceleration/ deceleration measurements • Automatic train position control (ATC, ATP, ERTMS) • Tilting train • Low frequency vibration measurements (seismic monitoring) MEGGiTT smart engineering for extreme environments Meggitt (Sensorex) selected the best MEMS cells available on the market and associated them to the digital signal compensation and processing stage to obtain an accelerometer that matches the key performances of servo-accelerometers, at an optimized cost. - Maximum non linearity: <0.05% de PE - Resolution < 0.01mg Power supply can span from +4.5 to +30VDC. This unit is available in different ranges, ±0.25g & ±1g. Signals (directly proportional to the acceleration) are made available to the end-user as 4-20mA, RS485 and USB outputs. Specifically designed to operate in stringent vibratory environments, one of the key parameters of our MEMS accelerometer is its adjustable bandwidth between 0.01Hz and 10Hz (thanks to a configurable digital filter). A complete auto test is automatically made at the start of the sensor and results are transmitted to the digital outputs and to the open drain output BIT-OUT.
