Description
As the inertial navigation standard by which others are
measured, Joint Sensor produces the K A***0. It is the
predominant sensor used in today’s commercial and
military
aircraft strap-down inertial navigation systems. The
long-term
Repeatability and superior reliability characteristics of
the
K A***0 make it the best value inertial-grade
accelerometer
available on the market today.
As with the entire family of accelerometers, the K A***0
has an amorphous quartz proof-mass structure which
provides
excellent bias, scale factor, and axis alignment
Repeatability.
The integral electronics develops an
acceleration-proportional
output current providing both static and dynamic
acceleration
measurement. By use of 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.
