Critically damped, high performance accelerometer
The Model 40A Accelerometer is a small piezoresistive accelerometer designed to be compliant with the latest SAE J211/J2570 (AUG2009) specifications. This unit features built-in mechanical stops, anodized aluminum alloy housing and flexible cable output. The sensing element is fluid damped to extend useful frequency range and reduce the adverse effect of high frequencies ringing caused by sensor resonance.
Used in pedestrian testing, but also for high shock environments such as impactors or drop test rigs where resonance is an issue.
