The Jewell Instruments ASM Series Angular Accelerometer is specifically configured to combine three key advantages: miniaturization, high accuracy, and ruggedness—making it suitable for demanding industrial and aerospace scenarios. A standout design feature is its ability to minimize thermal errors, which is critical for reliable operation in outdoor applications where temperature fluctuations are common. Currently, the Jewell ASM Series holds the distinction of being the highest accuracy sensor in its class worldwide.

All Jewell force-balanced (servo) precision accelerometers—including the ASM Series—are fully self-contained. They require only a connection to a DC power source and a readout or control device to form a complete operating system. The output is a high-level DC signal that is proportional to both acceleration and tilt angle sine, with full range options ranging from as little as ±0.010g to ±20g. Additionally, Jewell precision accelerometers are highly sensitive, capable of responding to velocity changes as small as 1µg.

Applications for the Jewell Instruments ASM Series Angular Accelerometer include:

• Fatigue monitoring: Tracking structural or mechanical fatigue in industrial machinery, vehicles, or aerospace components
• Performance testing: Evaluating the performance of mechanical systems, automotive parts, or aerospace equipment
• Flight control systems: Providing accurate angular acceleration data for aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight control
• Automotive angular accelerometer testing: Testing and optimizing angular acceleration in automotive systems (e.g., steering, suspension)
