Acceleration sensors can be used for a wide range of measurement tasks in a wide variety of applications. Here, too, the requirements for compactness and precision in confined spaces are increasing in many applications.

For low-frequency acceleration measurements, Althen offers particularly compact acceleration sensors from TML. The uniaxial accelerometer from the ARF-A series, for example, weighs just 13 g, while a comparable sensor in the ARH series weighs only 18 g. The dimensions of the accelerometers are somewhat less compact for triaxial measurements, but they are also well suited for the low-frequency measuring range. Examples of low-frequency applications include seismological measurements during earthquakes or the braking behaviour of train accelerations. Maximum (negative) accelerations of 0.2 to 0.3 G occur when trains decelerate. With a measuring range of approx. 1 G, the ARF-10A, for example, is well suited here, especially as it has a high level of accuracy.

An amplifier is not integrated in the TML accelerometers, but can be supplied by Althen on request. The measuring specialist can also provide the entire measuring chain including sensor, measuring amplifier and cable as well as the calibration recommended for the application.
