Product Description

Model 40A is a critically fluid damped DC accelerometer designed for anthropomorphic dummy and pedestrian impact testing and is compliant with the latest SAE J211/J2570 safety regulations. The accelerometer features a full bridge output configuration with built-in mechanical over-range stops for optimum protection. The model 40A accelerometer has a standard cross-talk accuracy of <3% (with option for <1%) and a standard ZMO of <±25mV. The model 40A crash test accelerometer is offered in ranges from ±25g to ±2000g and features anodized aluminum housing with an industry standard mounting footprint. The crash test accelerometer has a standard operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C and is environmentally sealed with an integral cable strain relief. The flexible cable is also designed for high-g impact testing with minimal triboelectric induced noise.
