one axis accelerometer

When you’re instrumenting a landslide or a bridge pier, a one axis accelerometer often does exactly what’s required—measures tilt along a single plane, or vibration along one direction, without the extra cost of unused channels. Kingmach units typically use MEMS or force-balance sensing elements, depending on the resolution and frequency response you need. The standard housing is stainless steel, sealed to IP67 or better, but we can offer aluminum or custom flanges if your mounting surface is uneven. Output is usually 4–20 mA or ±5V differential; digital RS-485 is also possible. Field wiring is simplified by an internal voltage regulator that handles a wide input range, so you don’t need a perfectly stable supply in a remote site. Inside, the sensor is mechanically isolated and damped to reject high-frequency noise that can swamp low-level tilt signals. This pays off in applications like retaining wall monitoring, where daily thermal cycles can fool a poorly designed sensor. We also match the accelerometer to a range that keeps the output in its linear region for the expected motion—if you’re measuring sub-millimeter tilt on a concrete dam, we won’t sell you a ±30 g unit and call it “high resolution.” Beyond the hardware, the draw for many users is the ability to get a complete package: accelerometer, mounting bracket, signal conditioner, and calibration sheet, all tested together before shipment. Kingmach’s technical team often works with consulting engineers during the specification phase to avoid mismatches between the sensor and the data logger. This kind of support, combined with a wide distributor network, means you’re not on your own when a project deadline is approaching.
