Use of Magnetic Fluid in Accelerometers

Abstract EN

Magnetic fluid accelerometer is designed based on the special physical properties of magnetic fluid.

Compared with the conventional acceleration sensors, magnetic fluid accelerometer has stronger shock resistance capability, higher sensitivity, lower energy consumption, and better performance in low frequency response.

It satisfies the growing requirements of acceleration sensors.

In this paper, the dynamic model and the theory of magnetic fluid accelerometers were presented.

The structure characteristics of typical magnetic fluid accelerometers were investigated, and the development trend of magnetic fluid accelerometers in the future was also predicted.

Besides, a novel accelerometer with linearity better than 1.5% and sensitivity better than 75 mV/g was proposed.
