WOX-5A ACCELEROMETER (ARTILLERY PROJECTILE COPPER-BALL ACCELEROMETER)
Abstract
A multipurpose accelerometer mechanically measures artillery projectile setback, spin, barrel-slap and target-impact accelerations. Twenty- three copper-ball accelerometers mount in the aft 2.75 inches of a Mk 73 VT Fuze or T-227 CVT Fuze body. Eight accelerometers measure setback at frequencies from 7200 to 20,200 Hz; eight similar accelerometers, opposite in direction, measure target impact; three pairs of accelerometers measure barrel slap (transverse acceleration) at frequencies of 5680 and 8380 Hz; one accelerometer measures spin (angular acceleration) at 1450 Hz or 1026 Hz.
