Colibrys Releases MEMS Capacitive Accelerometers for HUMS Appd

Colibrys has launched its capacitive accelerometers, VS9000, for vibration sensing and are expected to displace piezoresistive sensors in Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS), Aeronautics, Railway technologies and Automotive crash testing applications. The recognized level of capacitive sensors, well proven for inertial and seismic applications, is now also available for vibration sensing.



The extended bandwidth of the Colibrys capacitive sensors, combined with a high degree of miniaturization, make the product family suited to meet the increasing requirements of vibration measurement systems. This product family, covering the full range from ±2g to ±2000g and offering a constant frequency response (< 5% variation) up to 2 kHz, consolidates the position of Colibrys as leading edge independent European supplier of capacitive accelerometers for vibration, inertial and seismic sensing applications. The VS9000 will be presented at Sensor + Test 2008, Nuremberg, 6-8 May 2008 (booth 7-326) and at Sensors Expo, Rosemont, IL, 9-11 June 2008 (booth 1113).
