4201 Series Accelerometer

Description: The Model 4201 single axis accelerometer is designed with performance and reliability in mind. The rugged, gas damped accelerometer is ideally tailored for motorsport applications and road vehicle testing. The model 4201 features an 8-pole low-pass filter to ensure no high frequency engine noise will leak into the passband. A heavy-duty shielded cable and an EMI/RFI module protects the accelerometer from the harsh operating environment. Available in ranges from ±6g to ±50g, the model 4201 will provide reliable measurements from -40°C to 125°C.

· Measures static & dynamic acceleration

· Over shock protection to ±5,000 g’s

· Operating temperature from -40 to 125°C

· Built-in 8-pole low-pass filter

· EMI/RFI protection

· Transverse sensitivity <1% available
