ASC 76C1 Piezoresistive triaxial accelerometer

Compact three axis MEMS accelerometer sensor with high shock resistance for crash and impact testing


Key features

  • Compact and lightweight form factor
  • MEMS-based three axis accelerometer
  • ±5000g shock resistance
  • DC response from 0 Hz
  • Custom cable and connector options
  • Rugged aluminum cube housing

Performance highlights of the ASC 76C1 Piezoresistive triaxial accelerometer

The ASC 76C1 is a high-performance triaxial accelerometer designed for applications requiring precision dynamic measurement under high-shock conditions. Based on piezoresistive MEMS technology, this compact sensor delivers accurate, low-frequency acceleration data starting from 0 Hz (DC). Each axis operates independently via a full Wheatstone bridge.

Usage conditions

Housed in a hard-anodized aluminum cube, the sensor is gas-damped and comes with integrated overload stops for improved shock survivability. Its low mass and small size make it ideal for lightweight structures and space-constrained setups in demanding environments.

Typical applications

  • Automotive crash testing
  • Aerospace shock testing
  • Impact testing in R&D
  • Structural integrity monitoring in lightweight components

Advantages of this product

The ASC 76C1 offers unmatched reliability in extreme test conditions. With its customizable cable lengths, TEDS options, and equipment exchange services, it's engineered for both integration ease and high performance. Its ±5000g shock resistance ensures long-term durability, while the three-axis configuration simplifies installation and data acquisition.

Other important features

  • Available with TEDS module or shunt resistor
  • Standard 6 m polyurethane cable
  • Configurable connector types
  • Low non-linearity over broad frequency ranges
