algorithms, bias, scale factor, and axis misalignment
As with the entire Q-Flex family of accelerometers, the
QA1500 features a patented Q-Flex® etched-quartzflexure seismic system. An amorphous quartz proofmass structure provides excellent bias, scale factor, and
axis alignment stability.
The integral Q-Flex electronics develops an accelerationproportional output current providing both static and
dynamic acceleration measurements. 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.
