QA-3000
Accelerometer
Highest inertial navigation-grade
performance
For the highest inertial navi gation-grade performance av ailable
in today's market, Honeywell prod uces the Q-Flex® QA3000.
Built on the same production line as the industry-standard
QA2000 Accelerometer, the QA3000 Accelerometer has the
same inherent quality, reliability, and long-term performance
characteristics of the QA2000 Accelerometer. Primary
applications include spacecraft navigation and control systems.
As with the entire Q-Flex family of accelerometers, the QA3000
features a patented Q-Flex etched-quartz-flexur e seismic
system. An amorphous quartz proofmass structure prov ide s
excellent bias, scale factor, and a xis alignment stability.
The integral electronics develops an acceleration-proportional
output current providing both static and dyna m ic acceleration
measurement. By use of a customer supplied output load
resistor, appropriately scaled for the acceler ation ra nge of the
application, the output current can be convert ed into a voltage.
The QA3000 also incl udes a current-output, internal temperature
sensor. By applying temperature-compensating algorithms, bias,
scale factor, and axis misalignment performance are dramatically
improved.
