A high response frequency accelerometer based on double-bridge beam structure was developed and fabricated to meet the needs of high response frequency vibration detection of intelligent high speed machine tools. Using static and modal analysis through Ansys, the stress and natural frequency of double bridge beam were analysed, and the first order natural frequency was 11.8 kHz, meeting the design requirement. An accelerometer sample was obtained by using wetting etching process and anodic bonding. The experimental results show the prime sensitivity of the developed accelerometer is up to 0.264mV／g with 3V DC power supply, with a nonlinearity of 0.67％ and a hysteresis of 2.69％. Dynamic calibration experiment shows that the response frequency of the accelerometer is 12.46 kHz, meeting the need of high frequency measurement when the machine tool spindle rotates at the speed of 60kr／min.
