ASC P311A15 Industrial piezoelectric accelerometer

Uniaxial IEPE accelerometer with side connector and wide frequency response, built for reliable vibration measurements in harsh industrial environments.


Key features

  • Wide measurement range up to ±800 g and 12 kHz bandwidth
  • High shock resistance (up to 5000 g) and stainless steel IP68 housing
  • Side-entry connector with detachable cable for easy installation

Performance

The ASC P311A15 is a uniaxial industrial accelerometer sensor based on the piezoelectric compression principle, offering precise vibration measurements across a wide frequency spectrum. With its integrated IEPE electronics, it delivers a dynamic analog voltage signal, making it ideal for high-frequency applications like condition monitoring and shock testing.

Usage conditions

This accelerometer features a rugged stainless steel housing with IP68 protection, ensuring durability in challenging environments. It withstands extreme temperatures from -55 °C to +140 °C and shocks up to 5000 g. A 2-pin MS side connector and detachable cable allow for flexible setup and maintenance.

Possible applications

  • Vibration monitoring in rail vehicles
  • Structural health monitoring in wind turbines
  • Impact testing in heavy machinery
  • Condition monitoring in industrial plants

Advantages of choosing this product

The ASC P311A15 combines high sensitivity with robustness, offering a wide frequency response from 1.5 Hz to 12 kHz (±10%) and selectable sensitivities from 10 to 500 mV/g. Its low noise (<100 μg) and high output signal (±8 V) make it reliable for both low- and high-amplitude measurements. The flexible mounting (glue, thread, socket) and detachable cable make it easy to integrate in diverse setups, reducing installation time and cost.

Other important features

  • IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) output
  • Operates on 18–30 V constant current
  • Optional mounting accessories available
  • Complies with industry vibration testing standards

Options

  • Customised Cable Length
  • Metric Mounting Studs
  • ±5% Tolerance on Sensitivity (Precision Models)
