Frequency Accelerometer FAM-3921 (Digital Panel Meter, Signal Converter, Indicator Alarm Meter, Rotary Pulse Meter) > Tachometer Lineup > Product Lineup > HOME

Accelerometer Calculated from Frequency

- A frequency accelerometer that inputs pulse signals from rotation sensors and other devices to simultaneously measure the speed and acceleration (rate of change) of rotating or linearly moving objects.
- Speed and acceleration are output simultaneously via analog outputs (optional), allowing the relationship between the two parameters to be recognized at a glance.


Sinusoidal Speed (Frequency) Change


Triangular Speed (Frequency) Change

- Speed Input

- Acceleration Output

  Example
When an encoder is attached to a motor shaft
 

[Application Examples]

Speed and Acceleration Measurement for Dynamometers, Alternators, etc.

It is crucial to simultaneously measure speed and acceleration variations during startup (cranking), idling, and normal running states.
The Frequency Accelerometer FAM-3921 inputs pulse signals from gear sensors and similar devices, and outputs both speed and acceleration simultaneously via analog signals to capture transient phenomena instantly.

Wide Range Measurement from 0.01Hz to 100kHz

Acceleration Calculation for Continuous Phenomena from Low to High Speeds

By digitally computing acceleration directly from frequency, it ensures highly accurate, stable, and responsive tracking even through continuous transitions from ultra-low to high-speed zones. This method significantly minimizes calculation errors compared to conventional frequency-to-voltage conversion methods.

Speed/Acceleration Switchable Display

The display can be switched to indicate either speed or acceleration.

Equipped with 2-channel Comparator (Alarm) Outputs as Standard

RS-232 Interface as Standard

Transmits displayed data (both speed and acceleration listed together) to computers or printers via RS-232C digital communication output.
