MODEL 58 ACCELEROMETERSPECIFICATIONSDIMENSIONSDC Response Accelerometer
Durable Low-Noise Cable
Small Package, Light Weight±50g to ±2000 Ranges

The Model 58 Accelerometer is a MEMS DC responseaccelerometer designed for auto safety crash testing.
The accelerometer is packaged in a rugged housing with ashielded low-noise cable specifically designed for crushzone testing. The model 58 accelerometer features a fullbridge output configuration with a temperature range from 20 to +85ºC. A slight amount of internal gas damping
provides outstanding shock survivability and a flatamplitude and phase response up to 4000Hz.
