QA1500 Q-Flex® Accelerometers

  PDF Datasheet | Request Info 

  • Providing high-g tactical navigation capability, Honeywell produces the Q-Flex QA1500 primarily for tactical missile applications. 

  • As with the entire Q-Flex family of accelerometers, the QA1500 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 Q-Flex electronics develops an acceleration-proportional output current providing both static and dynamic acceleration measurement. 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. 

  • The QA1500 also includes a current-output, internal temperature sensor. By applying temperature-compensating algorithms, bias, scale factor, and axis misalignment performance are dramatically improved
