The AKA-300-SC series of triaxial MEMS accelerometers, by Jewell

Durham Instruments supplies industrial test and measurement solutions by Jewell Instruments, such as the AKA-300-SC series of triaxial MEMS accelerometers. An excellent option for cost-to-performance trade-off, these accelerometers are based on silicon micro-machined MEMS capacitive accelerometer technology and designed specifically for low power and high stability, with triaxial configuration as a feature.

With measuring ranges from plus or minus two to plus or minus 40 G, the AKA-300-SC series also offers an output of zero-to-five volts.

From robotics to vehicle testing

These Jewell accelerometers are ruggedized for use in harsh work environments, and each unit comes with a two-metre cable whip and an M12 connector. Among the features of these instruments are shock protection of 100 grams, bandwidth of up to 1,000 hertz, an IP67 safety rating, high sensitivity with a resolution of one milligram, 4-20mA output, and nine-to-36-Vdc input voltage. Other technical specifications of these MEMS accelerometers:

  • Calibration deviation: less than one milligram
  • Measuring axes: three (X, Y, and Z)
  • Bias temperature coefficient: typically 0.01 to 0.05 per cent per degree Celsius
  • Zero-degree output error: from less than 0.01 to less than 0.008 millivolts
  • Cross axis sensitivity: one per cent
  • Maximum resolution: less than one milligram
  • Maximum nonlinearity: from less than ½ to less than one per cent of full scale
  • Sensitivity: from 62½ to 1,250 millivolts per gram at plus or minus 10 per cent
  • Frequency response: 500 hertz
  • Bandwidth: 1,000 hertz at three decibels
  • Noise spectral density: from 21 to 86.6 µg/√Hz
  • Operating current: less than 60 mA at 12 Vdc
  • Operating temperature range: -40 to 85 degrees Celsius
  • Storage temperature range: -55 to 100 degrees Celsius
  • Shock resistance: 100 grams
  • Vibration resistance: 20 grams at 20-2,000 hertz

Relevant applications for this line of triaxial MEMS accelerometers include tower cranes, wind-power monitoring, robotics, traffic-system analysis, low-frequency vibration measurement, medical-equipment testing, automatic control systems, large-machinery monitoring, and vehicle testing. The Durham Instruments team also recommends the AKA-300-SC series for use in such industries as general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, forestry, education, the military, mining, power generation, alterative energy, transportation, and research and development.
