Description
For the highest inertial navigation-grade performance available
in today's market, J oint Sensor produces the K A***0.
Built on the same production line as the industry-standard
K A***0 Accelerometer, the K A***0 Accelerometer has the
same inherent quality, reliability, and long-term performance
characteristics of the K A***0 Accelerometer. Primary
applications include spacecraft navigation and control systems.
As with the entire family of accelerometers, The K A***0
features a patented Q-Flex etched-quartz-flexure seismic
system. An amorphous quartz proofmass structure provides
excellent bias, scale factor, and axis alignment stability.
The integral electronics develops an acceleration-proportional
output current providing both static and dynamic acceleration
measurement. By use of a customer supplied output load
resistor, appropriately scaled for the acceleration range of
the
application, the output current can be converted into a
voltage.
The K A***0 also includes a current -output, internal
temperature
sensor. By applying temperature-compensating algorithms, bias,
scale factor, and axis misalignment performance are
dramatically
improved.
