The Jewell Instruments LSM Series Accelerometer offers equivalent features to the LCA in a smaller package — approximately 1 inch cube. Its wide input range and bandwidth features meet the demanding needs of variety of aerospace applications.
The LS Series of linear accelerometers are solid-state, DC, closed-loop, force-balanced accelerometers with accuracy, stability and reliability several orders of magnitude greater than open-loop types. They are ideally suited to the precise requirements of inertial guidance and control systems. Linear acceleration applied and acting on unbalanced mass will develop a torque. By arranging the mass so that any resultant motion develops an electrical signal which his properly amplified and supplied to an electrical torque generator acting on the mass, equilibrium is produced between the two torquers.
Applications for the LSM Series include:
- Satellite nutrition sensing
- Radar leveling
- Fire control
- Attitude heading and reference systems
- Train braking and banking
- Missile orientation
- Autopilot
