The Sherborne Sensors’ A200 range of Servo Accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy using a closed loop force balance torque mechanism. A pendulous mass develops a torque proportional to the product of its mass unbalance and the applied acceleration. The movement of the mass is detected by a position sensor whose output signal is connected to a servo amplifier.The resulting current is fed into the torque motor which then develops a torque exactly equal to, but directly opposed to the initial torque from the pendulous mass. The mass then stops moving, assuming a position minutely differing from its initial zero ‘g’ position. Simultaneously, the current to the torque motor is fed through a stable resistor to provide an output voltage proportional to the applied acceleration. The system is electronically damped by means of a phase advancing network within the integrated servo amplifier.By adjusting the parameters of the servo amplifier and related electronic networks, the operating characteristics of a servo accelerometer can be optimized to suit a particular application.
The A545 range of Solid State Accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy and incorporate a MEMS micro machined piezo-resistive strain gauge bridge silicon sensor, incorporating a gas damping and positive over-range stops. Available ranges are from ± 2 to ± 200g.
The A600 range of Solid State MEMS Accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy using a micromachined (MEMS) silicon sensor incorporating an air damping feature.

The accelerometer is compensated for the effects of temperature on both sensitivity and zero. Typical applications include data acquisition systems, crash recorders, fatigue life monitoring and prediction; monitoring and controlling deceleration in mass transit systems; road bed analysis and fault detection equipment for high speed railways; military and civil flight simulators; autopilots and low frequency vibration monitoring.
