Accelerometer has enhanced temperature capability

An Inertial Aerosystems product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team May 22, 2009

Inertial Aerosystems has introduced the Mini-Q, a small-diameter, high-temperature and shock-resistant accelerometer with enhanced temperature capability.

The Mini-Q has been designed primarily for down-hole measurement-while-drilling (MWD) applications in the gas and oil industries and also wireline environments that require a small form factor, such as the new generation of directional and horizontal drilling tools.

The Mini-Q accelerometer is manufactured by Honeywell and uses the low-noise, Q-Flex etched quartz proof flexure seismic system, modified for harsh environments.

Operating temperature is now -40C to 185C with intermittent capability of 200C.

The shock-operating/non-operating performance is -40C to 85C at 1,000g, 0.5msec and 85-185C at 400g, 0.5msec.

Input voltage is +/- 12VDC to +/- 18VDC with input current (quiescent) 8mA maximum, 6mA typical.

The device can be scaled to any full-scale range to 30g and has an analogue output with an internal temperature sensor, and fits into a 25.4mm tool diameter.
