Measurement Specialties Announces New Accelerometer for Auto Safety
Crash Test Applications FAIRFIELD, N.J., March 17
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Measurement Specialties, Inc. (AMEX:MSS),
a designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensor-based consumer
products, announced today that its new Model 64 piezoresistive
accelerometer is now available for dynamic measurement
professionals requiring accurate, reliable data for auto safety
crash test applications. The Model 64 is the first new product
developed by MSI's recently formed Vibration Business Unit based in
Aliso Viejo, CA. "This small, rugged accelerometer features MSI's
second generation piezoresistive MEMS sensor element," noted
Anthony Chu, Director, Vibration Business Unit. The Model 64 offers
a full scale range up to 2000 gs, DC response and temperature
compensation from 0 - 50 degrees C. End-users will particularly
appreciate the durable, damage-resistant integral cable, variable
voltage excitation range (2-10 VDC) with ratiometric output and low
standard zero offset < +/- 25 mV. Available off-the-shelf, the
Model 64 design features a full bridge configuration and internal
gas damping that provides outstanding shock survivability and flat
frequency response. The footprint of this accelerometer meets SAE
J211 specifications for anthropomorphic dummy instrumentation. The
Model 64 accelerometer rounds out MSI Sensors' already outstanding
product lineup for auto safety testing applications. Additional
models include: * EGCS-S425 fluid damped accelerometer for auto
safety crash testing. * Model 1201 accelerometer with overload
stops for testing in the "crush" zone of vehicles or for road
applications. * Model 3035 accelerometer with high shock resistance
for "crush" zone testing. Information about these exciting products
can be obtained by contacting Bob Arkell, Vibration Products
Manager at 949-716-7324 or via email at . About MSI. Measurement
