Model:
Use:The single-axis Accelerometer is a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensor designed to measure acceleration at different frequencies from 0 to 50 Hz.
The accelerometer is suitable for a large range of applications. This sensor is a fiber optic version of the conventional accelerometer but completely passive, offering inherent insensitivity to environmental induced noise
The accelerometer features high accuracy and resolution, and total fiber optic design ensuring intrinsic immunity to electric sparks and EMI/RFI.
The accelerometer can be used in a large range of monitoring applications, including measuring load induced vibration of civil structures. Connect two or three accelerometers at orthogonal directions for bi– or tri-axial acceleration measurements.
Compatible with most common FBG measurement units, the accelerometer combines compact size, high resistance to corrosion and harsh environments, and long-term reliability. It’s also suitable for remote sensing being possible to locate it several kilometers away from the measurement unit. It offers intrinsic multiplexing capability that allows the concatenation of a large number of sensors in a single optical fiber. This sensor is therefore particularly suitable for difficult-to-reach locations and large scale sensing networks.
