A640 Series

The A640 series of Solid State MEMS Accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy using a micromachined (MEMS) silicon sensor incorporating an air-damping feature. Unlike fluid-damped devices, the air damping employed is essentially independent of temperature. The transducer also incorporates positive mechanical stops conferring excellent shock resistance. The accelerometer compensates for the effects of temperature on both sensitivity and zero. Typical applications include data acquisition systems, crash recorders, fatigue life monitoring, and prediction; monitoring and controlling deceleration in mass transit systems; roadbed analysis and fault detection equipment for high-speed railways;  civil flight simulators; autopilots, and low frequency vibration monitoring.

The A640 series will in many cases replace the now discontinued Series A400 accelerometers and is mechanically interchangeable.
