Small Size, Light Weight
Jacketed & Shielded Cable
Silicon MEMS Technology±50g to ±6000g Ranges

The Model 52M30 accelerometer has an advanced
piezoresistive MEMS sensing element which offers
excellent dynamic range and stability. This unit features afull bridge output with an operating temperature range from-40 to +90°C and measurement ranges of ±50g to ±6,000g.
A slight amount of gas damping provides outstanding shock
survivability and a flat amplitude response to 7kHz.
