Technical details and manufacturing context for Accelerometer Sensor
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Range | ±2–±500 g | ±2 to ±500 — Selectable full-scale range; lower ranges for vibration, higher for impact shocks. |
| Frequency Response | 0.5–10000 Hz | 0.5 to 10000 — Flat response within ±3 dB; covers compaction vibration frequencies. |
| Sensitivity | 10–100 mV/g | 10 to 100 — At 100 Hz, 1 g; varies with range. |
| Accuracy | ±1–±5 % of full scale | ±1 to ±5 — Includes linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40–+125 °C | -40 to +125 — For continuous operation; extended range may be available. |
| Temperature Sensitivity | ±0.01–±0.1 %/°C | ±0.01 to ±0.1 — Over operating temperature range. |
| Shock Survival | 5000–10000 g | 5000 to 10000 — Non-operating; must survive impact shocks during compaction. |
| Housing Material | Stainless Steel 316L | Stainless Steel 316L — Corrosion-resistant for outdoor construction environments.ASTM A240 |
| Sensing Element | MEMS (silicon) or Piezoelectric (PZT) | MEMS (silicon) or Piezoelectric (PZT) — MEMS for low cost, PZT for high frequency and shock. |
| Electrical Interface | Analog voltage (0-5 V) or digital (I2C/SPI) | Analog voltage (0-5 V) or digital (I2C/SPI) — Analog for simple integration, digital for direct microcontroller interface. |
| Current Consumption | 0.5–10 mA | 0.5 to 10 — At supply voltage; lower for battery-powered systems. |
| Connection Type | M12 connector or integral cable (2 m) | M12 connector or integral cable (2 m) — M12 for quick disconnect, cable for permanent installation.IEC 61076-2-101 |
| Protection Class | IP67 | IP67 — Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion; IP69K for washdown.IEC 60529 |
| Mounting | M5 stud or adhesive base | M5 stud or adhesive base — Stud for permanent, adhesive for temporary; surface flatness < 10 µm. |
| Weight | 10–50 g | 10 to 50 — Affects dynamic response; lighter is better for high-frequency. |
| Service Life | 10000–50000 hours | 10000 to 50000 — MTBF under continuous vibration; depends on operating conditions. |
| Temperature | -40–+125 °C | -40 to +125 °C — Outside this window: Output drift, permanent damage to sensing element or electronics. |
| Humidity | 0-95% RH non-condensing | 0-95% RH non-condensing — Outside this window: Condensation causes short circuits, corrosion of internal components. |
| Vibration (operating) | Up to 100 g RMS | Up to 100 g RMS — Outside this window: Saturation of output, mechanical failure of sensing element. |
| Shock (non-operating) | Up to 10000 g | Up to 10000 g — Outside this window: Fracture of MEMS or piezoelectric crystal, permanent zero shift. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3-5.5 V DC | 3.3-5.5 V DC — Outside this window: Incorrect readings, damage to electronics if overvoltage. |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The measurement range is selectable from ±2 to ±500 g. Lower ranges are suitable for vibration monitoring, while higher ranges are for impact shock detection. The exact range must be confirmed for the specific model.
The sensor offers analog voltage output (0-5 V) or digital interfaces (I2C/SPI). Analog is simpler for integration, while digital allows direct connection to a microcontroller. Verify compatibility with your system.
The sensor has an IP67 protection class per IEC 60529, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water. This is suitable for outdoor construction environments.
The operating temperature range is -40 to +125 °C. Outside this range, output drift or permanent damage may occur. Always verify the specific model's limits with the manufacturer.
