For the highest inertial navigation-grade performance
available in today’s market, Honeywell Inertial & Sensor Systems
produces the Q-Flex® Quartz Accelerometer 3000 (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-flexure seismic system. The use of an amorphous
quartz proof-mass structure provides excellent bias, scale factor, and axis
alignment stability.
The integral Q-Flex electronics develops an acceleration-proportional output current providing both static and dynamic acceleration measurement. Through the 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 QA3000 includes a current-output, internal temperature sensor. Through the use of a temperature-compensating algorithm; bias, scale factor, and axis misalignment performance is dramatically improved.
The performance information provided in the Navigation Matrix allows the user to select the model that most closely meets his requirements. If other performance values are required, please contact Honeywell.
