Sherborne Sensors’ core operations focus on the design and manufacture of precision Accelerometers, Inclinometers, and Load Cells. Our products enjoy unsurpassed industry standing for ultra-reliability and long-life precision in critical military and industrial applications.
While we offer a large range of standard off-the-shelf units to meet the requirements of many applications; a large percentage of our business is the manufacture of custom sensors to meet customer’s specific requirements in both civilian and military markets.
The Sherborne Sensors’ A200 range of Servo Accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy using a closed loop force balance torquer mechanism. A pendulous mass develops a torque proportional to the product of its mass unbalance and the applied acceleration. The movement of the mass is detected by a position sensor whose output signal is connected to a servo amplifier.
The resulting current is fed into the torque motor which then develops a torque exactly equal to, but directly opposed to the initial torque from the pendulous mass. The mass then stops moving, assuming a position minutely differing from it’s initial zero ‘g’ position. Simultaneously, the current to the torque motor is fed through a stable resistor to provide an output voltage proportional to the applied acceleration.
The system is electronically damped by means of a phase advancing network within the integrated servo amplifier. By adjusting the parameters of the servo amplifier and related electronic networks, the operating characteristics of a servo accelerometer can be optimised to suit a particular application.

Features
Applications
Using the same torquer mechanism and servo electronics as the A220 series, the A260 features a switching regulator to enable direct operation from a single ended dc power supply. Galvanic isolation between primary and secondary circuits provides total electrical isolation between the input supply and signal output. To meet certain measuring requirements, especially in certain aerospace applications, this series has provision for an optional active filter with low output impedance and 1g bias circuitry for vertical mounting.
The A260 series accelerometers have been used successful in aerospace, military and industrial applications for many decades. The acquisition of this technology by Sherborne Sensors allows customers to benefit from the same exceptional product qualities as its predecessors, with the added benefits of extensive applications engineering support, global technical sales presence, repair, refurbishment and calibration services, stocking programs, and continuous product improvements.

Applications
The A545 range of Solid State Accelerometers measure vector acceleration with high accuracy and incorporate a MEMS micromachined piezo-resistive strain gauge bridge silicon sensor, incorporating a gas damping and positive over-range stops. Available ranges are from ± 2 to ± 200g.
Unlike fluid damped devices, the gas damping employed in the MEMS micromachined piezo-resistive strain gauge bridge sensor is essentially independent of temperature. The accelerometer also incorporates positive mechanical stops conferring excellent shock resistance and is compensated for the effects of temperature on both sensitivity and zero offset. The accelerometer is packaged in a robust aluminium alloy case with solder pins for ease of electrical connections.

Modes and options for transportation of goods and people continue to evolve. Recently, both private industry and governments have recognized models based primarily on individual modes of transportation are not sustainable; both from an economic and environmental perspective. A mixture of individual and mass transportation solutions are needed. Accordingly, funds directed towards these solutions have increased dramatically, along with their technical requirements.
Two segments of transportation that represent keen interest are rail and barge. Both offer the opportunity to move large numbers of people and goods in significantly more efficient ways than individual cars, trucks or ships.
Sherborne Sensors is assisting leading manufacturers of these platforms and their customers by providing sensors for a variety of applications, such as inclinometers to monitor barge loading and unloading activities to ensure safe operations; vibration monitors for engine and drive line systems to proactively assist in identifying possible maintenance issues; angle analysis systems to verify rail track properties and conditions to ensure safe passage of both freight and passenger loads; and accelerometers to protect passengers and freight by modulating train acceleration and deceleration protocols.
