About the ASC 5511LN / ASC 5515LN Capacitive Accelerometer

The accelerometers of type ASC 5511LN and ASC 5515LN are based on proven MEMS technology and capacitive operating principle. The integrated electronic circuitry enables a differential analog voltage output (±4 V FSO) and flexible power supply voltage from 6 to 40 VDC. The LN (Low Noise) accelerometers from ASC provide an outstanding noise performance from 7 to 400 µg/√Hz which is essential for demanding measurements of smallest frequencies and amplitudes.

The sensor ASC 5511LN features a lightweight aluminum housing and the sensor ASC 5515LN provides a robust stainless-steel housing, both with protection class IP67 and an integrated cable with configurable length and connectors.

The triaxial accelerometers enable the detection of smallest acceleration amplitudes in three degrees of freedom, for example for measuring aerodynamic and mass-related imbalances in wind turbines or for evaluation ride comfort in passenger ships.
