Q-Flex^® QA-1500
Accelerometer
High-g tactical navigation sensor
Providing high-g tactical navigation capability, Honeywell
produces the Q-Flex® QA1500 primarily for tactical
missile guidance 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 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.
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. Robust design and
quality assurance provides superior reliability.
