Accelerometer 3052

The Model 3052 is a piezoresistive silicon accelerometer with integral temperature compensation.

It is packaged on a ceramic substrate with an epoxy sealed ceramic cover and is designed for adhesive mounting. The accelerometer consists of a micro machined silicon mass suspended by multiple beams from a silicon frame.

Piezoresistors located in the beams change their resistance as the motion of the suspended mass changes the strain in the beams. Silicon caps on the top and bottom of the device are added to provide over-range stops. This design provides for a very low profile, high shock resistance, durability and built-in damping over a wide usable bandwidth.

For an accelerometer with a mounting bracket which can be used to bolt the sensor to the mounting location see the Model 3058. For uncompensated accelerometers, please refer to the Models 3022 and 3028.
