MSI Creates Vibration Sensors Business Unit
Led by Mr. Anthony Chu, a leading authority on the subjects of shock & vibration measurement and accelerometers, this new business unit will combine MSI’s North American design technology with our manufacturing center in Shenzhen, China to bring innovative, competitive products to the automotive marketplace. Further, this unit will build on MSI’s platform capabilities in silicon MEMs, piezoelectric polymer film, piezoelectric ceramic, bonded gage and accelerometer miniaturization through the recent acquisition of Entran and MWS Sensorik. With our expanded technology toolbox, MSI Sensors has many ways to approach vibration measurement challenges. MSI Sensors can choose the best possible technology to solve customer problems and achieve high performance at very competitive costs. The global market for MEMS accelerometers continues to grow as OEMs increase their use of miniature sensors in everything from automobiles to medical devices and durable goods such as washing machines. Accelerometers enable “smart sensing” to enhance vehicle safety, monitor motion or make consumer products operate more efficiently with less human intervention. Although MSI’s accelerometers are ready to use “out-of-the-box,” we recognize our customers often have unique and changing application requirements. MSI Sensors is ready to support customers with minor modifications such as variable cable lengths to more significant adaptations such as mounting or packaging changes. Further, we will supply and install standard connectors or use those supplied by our customers.
Accelerometers for Crash Testing Model 64 This small, rugged unit features MSI’s second generation piezoresistive MEMS sensor element with an extremely stable zero-offset. The Model 64 offers a full scale range up to 2000 g’s, DC response and temperature compensation from 0° to 50° C. End-users will particularly appreciate the durable, damage-resistant integral cable with Teflon® jacketing. The Model 64 features a convenient variable voltage excitation range (2-10 Vdc) with ratiometric output and low standard zero offset < ± 30 mV. Developed by the recently formed Vibration Business Unit, 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. Key Features and Benefits
Model EGCS Damping extends working dynamic range while reducing the sometimes destructive effect of high frequency inputs. Although standard units have nominal damping at 0.7, custom damping is available for special applications. Internal temperature compensation encourages ease of installation while overall footprint is compliant with SAE J211. Instrumentation professionals will appreciate the standard 10 Vdc excitation with nominal ±150 mV output and low zero offset <±10 mV. This Model EGSC-S425 offers several full scale ranges (50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 ±g’s) and built-in mechanical stops for enhanced survivability in rugged applications. Operating over a temperature compensated range of -10 ºC through 50 ºC, the Model EGCS-S425 exhibits a low thermal sensitivity shift of < ±0.1 ºC and excellent combined non-linearity and hystersis of <±1% FSO.
MSI Sensors
offers a complete lineup of accelerometers for crash testing, on-vehicle
collision impact testing and road/load performance testing.
