Accelerex® RBA500

Resonating Beam Accelerometer

RBA500

Features

  • Frequency output for direct interface
    to digital electronics
  • Low price
  • High-g capability
  • Very compact design
  • Integral 2 fastener mounting flange
  • Low power consumption
  • Hermetically sealed case
  • Internal temperature sensor for thermal compensation

For a frequency output sensor, Honeywell produces the Accelerex RBA500 accelerometer. It is primarily used to supplement GPS navigation systems. It's a good choice where frequency output, high-g, small size, low power, and light weight are necessary.
