ASC CS‑1511LN capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 4–20 mA output

Industrial-grade biaxial accelerometer with current output for long cable runs and high-EMC environments.


Key features

  • Biaxial capacitive MEMS sensor with DC response
  • Analog 4–20 mA current loop output
  • Rugged IP67 aluminum or IP68 stainless steel housing
  • Excellent EMC immunity
  • Measurement ranges from ±2 g to ±50 g
  • Ideal for condition monitoring and structural applications
  • Configurable cable length and connector type

High signal integrity for demanding installations

The ASC CS‑1511LN is a biaxial capacitive MEMS accelerometer with a robust 4–20 mA output signal, engineered for long-distance signal transmission and industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI). The current loop ensures high signal stability even across 100+ meters of cable.

Application-ready for monitoring systems

Its hard-anodized aluminum (IP67) or optional stainless steel (IP68) housing makes it an excellent fit for permanent installation in infrastructure and equipment. It offers DC response for capturing both static and dynamic acceleration signals with precision.

Typical applications

  • Structural monitoring of bridges, buildings, dams
  • Vibration and tilt monitoring in pipelines and tunnels
  • Wind turbine control and maintenance
  • Condition monitoring of heavy industrial machinery
  • Long-distance sensor networks in rail or offshore systems

Why choose the ASC CS‑1511LN accelerometer?

This biaxial accelerometer is built for reliable, maintenance-free operation in harsh conditions. It supports both horizontal axes (X and Y) in a single compact design and offers flexible configuration options for integration into existing control systems.
