ASC EQ-x211 / EQ-x215 Low-frequency capacitive MEMS accelerometer
Ultra-low noise seismic vibration sensor for structural health monitoring and environmental motion analysis
Key features
- Noise density below 1.2 μg/√Hz
- MEMS capacitive accelerometer sensor
- ±3 g and ±5 g measuring range
- Triaxial, biaxial or uniaxial configuration
- DC response, gas-damped
- IP65/IP68 aluminum or stainless steel housing
Performance highlights
The ASC EQ-x211 and EQ-x215 are low-frequency capacitive MEMS accelerometers designed to detect the smallest vibrations in seismic and structural health monitoring applications. With a noise density of <1.2 μg/√Hz and a resolution under 1 μg, these sensors meet the requirements for motion class B seismic measurements.
Usage conditions
The EQ-x211 features a lightweight aluminum housing, while the EQ-x215 offers a rugged stainless steel version. Both variants are IP65-rated, with optional IP68 when using integrated cables and PG glands. The sensors offer differential analog output (±2.7 V FSO) and operate from 5 to 40 VDC. Available in uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial versions, they provide flexible configuration for any installation scenario.
Typical applications
- Structural health monitoring (SHM)
- Seismic vibration sensing
- Tunnel and dam monitoring
- Low-frequency noise & vibration measurement
- Infrastructure risk assessment in power plants and bridges
Advantages of choosing this product
The EQ-series is purpose-built for environments where small, long-period vibrations must be monitored continuously. These accelerometers use capacitive MEMS technology to deliver high-accuracy measurements across a DC to 700 Hz frequency range. With a built-in self-test function, temperature output, and multiple housing and cabling options, these sensors are ideal for critical monitoring tasks.
Other important features
- Fully differential analog output (±2.7 V FSO)
- High shock resistance and thermal stability
- Temperature and self-test pin included
- Detachable or fixed cable options
- TEDS support and configurable connector types
