ASC 5525 MF Low-frequency accelerometer

Robust triaxial MEMS capacitive accelerometer with ultra-low noise and high shock resistance for precise dynamic and static acceleration measurements.


Key features

  • Triaxial MEMS capacitive technology
  • DC to 2900 Hz (±5%) frequency range
  • Extremely robust: shock resistance up to 6000 g
  • Low noise: 10 to 680 µg/√Hz
  • Voltage output ±2.7 V FSO
  • IP67 with stainless steel housing

Performance highlights ASC 5525MF Capacitive Accelerometer

The ASC 5525MF is a high-precision MEMS capacitive accelerometer that provide reliable differential voltage output for accurate detection of static and dynamic accelerations. They are optimized for low-noise performance and operate across a wide frequency spectrum from 0 Hz up to 7 kHz (±3 dB). With an integrated analog output and configurable power supply (5–40 VDC), this sensor is ideal for demanding environments.

Usage conditions

It is engineered for harsh conditions with IP67 protection, and withstand shock loads up to 6000 g. The ASC 5525MF uses a rugged stainless-steel enclosure, ideal for mobile and industrial use.

Possible applications

  • Vehicle ride comfort and NVH testing
  • Road and rail vehicle dynamics
  • Test benches and structural vibration
  • Flutter and resonance testing in aerospace
  • Rail monitoring and predictive maintenance

Advantages of choosing the ASC 5525MF Capacitive accelerometer

The sensor offers flexible mounting options, multiple configuration settings (cable length, connector types), and can be customized with TEDS modules. The differential analog output and wide frequency response makes it versatile for multi-axis measurement tasks, where accuracy and durability are critical.

Other important features

  • Configurable cable length and connector
  • TEDS module option
  • Excellent offset and scale factor stability
  • Case-isolated design for optimal signal integrity
