Versatile Low-noise Accelerometer from Measurement Specialties Calculates
Static and Dynamic Signals
New rugged sensor uses gas damped MEMS technology for high-g shock protection
Hampton, Va. June 2013 – Measurement Specialties (NASDAQ: MEAS), a leading
global manufacturer in sensor-based measuring of pressure/force, position,
vibration, temperature, humidity and fluid properties, has released the 4610A, a
versatile sensor with integral temperature compensation for both static and dynamic
measurements.
The 4610A is a rugged, ultra low-noise DC accelerometer that measures shock and
vibration levels up to 2,000 g’s via an integrated gas damped MEMS element with
mechanical overload stops. It is particularly useful for detecting low frequency, low
amplitude vibration in a variety of applications, including structural monitoring, road
vehicle testing, transportation and machine control.
Operating over a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, the new 4610A is
offered in ranges from ±2 g to ±100 g with a flat frequency response to 1,500 Hz.
The sensor incorporates an ultra low-noise amplification circuit for a ±2 Vdc fullscale output with a dynamic range of 97 dB.
The accelerometer features a signal-conditioned, DC-coupled output and can be
configured in single-ended mode or in differential mode for higher performance
applications, where good common mode rejection is desirable. Excitation voltage
ranges from 8 Vdc to 30 Vdc, with an excitation current of less than 12 mA.

Housed in an anodized aluminum package, the 4610A is suitable for use in rugged
environments. The unit is epoxy sealed to IP62 specifications and the flexible cable
assembly is constructed of a TPE-jacketed cable with an integral braided shield and
PFA-insulated leads. A triaxial configuration is offered in the model 4630A package.
