ASC 61C1 Piezoresistive accelerometer
Compact and highly shock-resistant uniaxial accelerometer for crash and shock testing with DC response.
Key features
- Measurement ranges of ±500g, ±1000g and ±2000g
- Rugged anodised aluminium housing
- High shock resistance up to ±5000g
- Small size and lightweight for minimal mass loading
- Gas damped with DC response
- Configured as a Wheatstone Bridge with mV output
Performance highlights
The ASC 61C1 is a uniaxial piezoresistive accelerometer designed for dynamic applications such as crash and shock testing. Its highly stable MEMS sensor ensures reliable performance with excellent linearity and low frequency response starting from 0Hz. Available in three ranges (500g, 1000g, 2000g), the sensor is suitable for a wide array of impact measurements.
Usage conditions
This sensor operates within a wide temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, and features epoxy-sealed aluminium housing. Thanks to its low weight (3g without cable) and compact size, it can be easily mounted with adhesive or screws. The 4-wire output can be directly connected to common data acquisition systems.
Possible applications
- Automotive crash testing
- Shock and impact analysis
- Aerospace component testing
- Safety equipment certification
- Industrial vibration monitoring
Advantages of choosing this product
The ASC 61C1 offers an ideal combination of compactness, robustness, and precise performance for dynamic acceleration measurements. Its compatibility with TEDS modules, custom cabling, and its high overload resistance make it a flexible and reliable solution for testing professionals.
