Q-Flex® QA-650 Accelerometer
For Q-Flex technology in an economical package, Honeywell produces the QA650 for industrial grade applications including: automotive test instrumentation, braking system deceleration, bridge and building sway and tilt monitoring, industrial and robotic control, land vehicle navigation, subway and high-speed train ride comfort control, and offshore drilling platform motion monitoring.
As with the entire Q-Flex family of accelerometers, the QA650 features a patented Q-Flex etched-quartz-flexure seismic system. An amorphous quartz proof-mass 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 measurements. 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.
