Small sensor with six degrees of freedom

By Frank Tobe | March 11, 2016

Share

DTSWhen it comes to measuring high rates of shock and angular velocity for crash, blast and impact testing, the 6DX PRO may fit the need. These sensors come in a shock-hardened enclosure that’s as small as the diameter of a penny. Weighing only 12 g, they terminate to a single triaxial connector.

The six degrees-of-freedom sensor includes three accelerometers (±2,000 or 20,000 g) and three angular rate sensors (±300, 1500, 8K, 18K or 50K deg/sec) in a rugged enclosure that is less than 3⁄4 in3 (19 x 19 x 14.5 mm). Focused on human injury assessment testing, the sensor is shock rated up to 20,000 g and is IP67 rated.

Testing applications include: helmet testing, automotive safety, airplane seats, parachutes, amusement rides and blast testing. The 6DX PRO is delivered calibrated with pigtail or adapter cables to support a variety of termination options. It’s repairable if damaged and meets NHTSA, FAA, ISO 6487 and SAE J211 data acquisition requirements.
