ASC OS-125MF-PG MEMS Capacitive accelerometer

Analog voltage output acceleration sensor for the demanding requirements of offshore applications.


Key features

  • MEMS capacitive sensing with excellent DC response
  • Analog differential voltage output (±2.7 V FSO)
  • Extremely low noise (10 to 680 μg/√Hz)
  • Wide frequency range: DC to 7 kHz (±3 dB)
  • Shock resistance up to 6,000 g
  • Robust, IP68-rated stainless steel housing
  • Operates from 5 to 40 VDC
  • Customizable cable lengths, connectors, and TEDS module available

Performance higlights

The ASC OS-125MF-PG is a high-performance, uniaxial MEMS capacitive accelerometer engineered for medium-frequency applications in harsh industrial environments. Designed with gas-damped MEMS elements and a rugged stainless-steel housing, this sensor delivers low noise, stable offset, and excellent scale factor repeatability.

It features a differential analog voltage output of ±2.7 V and operates on a flexible 5 to 40 VDC supply. Thanks to its robust design and IP68 hermetically sealed enclosure, it is highly resistant to dust, moisture, and mechanical impact – ideal for railway bogie monitoring, construction machinery, and structural health monitoring in tough outdoor settings.cles and their components in the construction sector.

Applications

  • Railway engineering
  • Condition monitoring
  • Structural health monitoring
  • Heavy-duty environments

Operating conditions

The OS-125MF-PG performs reliably in ambient temperatures from -20 °C to +70 °C, with an optional high-temperature variant up to +100 °C. Its hermetically sealed stainless steel housing ensures full IP68 protection, while the compact form factor (68 g) and screw or adhesive mounting options allow for easy integration into existing measurement setups.

The standard 6-meter PUR cable is highly flexible and optionally available in FEP for increased chemical resistance. Cable length and connector configurations are fully customizable.

Advantage of this sensor

  • Shock-resistant up to 6,000 g – robust for extreme vibration environments
  • Gas-damped MEMS element – accurate DC and low-frequency response
  • Wide power supply – compatible with many DAQ systems (5–40 VDC)
  • Low noise floor – ideal for precision vibration measurement
  • Rugged IP68 stainless steel housing – maintenance-free in wet or dusty locations
  • Customizable output cable & connector – easy to integrate into any system
