ASC 5421MF Capacitive Accelerometer

Rugged triaxial accelerometers with extended frequency response and high shock resistance for dynamic motion testing.


Key features

  • Triaxial MEMS capacitive design with gas damping
  • Frequency response up to 7 kHz (±3 dB)
  • Shock resistance up to 6,000 g
  • Measurement range: ±2g to ±200g
  • Differential analog output (±2.7 V FSO)
  • IP65-rated housing in aluminum (5421MF) or stainless steel (5425MF)

Performance highlights ASC 5421MF capacitive accelerometer

The ASC 5421MF and ASC 5425MF are medium frequency MEMS capacitive accelerometers that deliver precise triaxial measurements across an extended bandwidth. With low noise and high shock resistance, these sensors are ideal for demanding motion, vibration, and NVH environments.

Usage conditions

Operating from -40°C to +125°C, these sensors are built for extreme environments. The ASC 5421MF features a 20g aluminum housing, while the ASC 5425MF provides 40g of rugged stainless steel protection. Power supply from 5 to 40 VDC. Calibrated output with ±2.7 V FSO ensures clean analog signal quality.

Possible applications

  • Vehicle and rail dynamic tests
  • Test bench and road simulation platforms
  • NVH and comfort evaluation
  • Flutter and resonance testing in aerospace
  • Structural monitoring under dynamic loading

Advantages of choosing this product

The ASC 542xMF series offers robust reliability, wide frequency response, and compact triaxial sensing in one package. It supports accurate measurements in environments where high acceleration and broadband noise performance are required.

Other important features

  • Noise density from 10 to 680 µg/√Hz
  • Bandwidth up to 2900 Hz (±5%), 7000 Hz (±3 dB)
  • Output impedance: 1 kΩ
  • Adhesive or screw mounting
  • Calibrated per ISO 17025 upon request
