K-Shear® General Purpose Accelerometer 10mV/g Kistler 8704B500

• General purpose accelerometer. Available in high and low operating temperature versions or with a ground isolated option. Features a rugged, hermetically sealed construction.

Description

• The Type 8702B500… series side connector and Type 8704B500… top connector accelerometer series use a unique shear mode sensing element made of stable quartz crystals. The quartz sensing elements afford excellent long-term stability that ensure repeatable, accurate measurements for many years. Additionally the shear element design provides low transverse sensitivity along with an insensitivity to base strain and thermal transients. All units are hermetically sealed and are constructed entirely of titanium or a combination of titanium and stainless steel. An internal circuit Piezotron impedance converter provides a high signal level at low impedance output. Models identified with an M1 and M3 are ground isolated versions. The Type 8702B500M5 extends the operating temperature range to 165 °C while the Type 8702B500M8 operates at a low cryogenic temperature of –195 °C.

Application

• All types are designed for general purpose vibration measurement in a laboratory or industrial environment. They can be used for environmental testing (with or without temperature cycling), ESS, vehicle tests, automotive NVH testing, rotating machinery vibration analysis.
