ASC 5521MF Capacitive accelerometer sensor

High-performance triaxial MEMS accelerometer sensor for precise low-noise acceleration measurements in automotive and aerospace applications.


Key features

  • Triaxial MEMS capacitive technology
  • Low-noise DC response and gas damping
  • Shock resistant up to 6,000 g
  • Wide frequency range up to 7 kHz
  • Optional TEDS module
  • IP67-rated housing: aluminum

Performance highlights of this triaxial accelerometer

The ASC 5521MF is a high-precision capacitive accelerometer sensor offering differential analog output (±2.7 V FSO). Designed with MEMS technology, this three-axis accelerometer is ideal for static and dynamic measurements up to ±200 g and frequencies up to 7 kHz. Its low noise characteristics and rugged mechanical build make it suitable for demanding testing environments.

Usage conditions

This three axis accelerometer is housed in either lightweight aluminum (5521MF) or durable stainless steel (5525MF), both IP67-rated. It supports input voltages from 5 to 40 VDC and offers custom cable lengths and connectors for flexible system integration.

Typical applications

  • NVH and ride comfort testing
  • Vehicle dynamics and operational stability
  • Flutter and resonance testing in aerospace
  • Structural and vibration monitoring on test benches
  • Industrial three axial acceleration analysis

Key advantages of selecting this MEMS accelerometer

As a triaxial capacitive accelerometer, the ASC 5521MF delivers unmatched accuracy, robustness and configurability. It is designed for engineers seeking reliable acceleration sensors for data-critical applications in the automotive, rail, and aerospace sectors.

Additional features
