  • Low cost, miniature and lightweight triaxial
  • High sensitivity, low noise and high dynamic range
  • Choice of ranges and sensitivities
  • Ground isolated mounts
  • TEDS option
  • Conforming to C E

Description

• Internal to the PiezoBeam accelerometer is a unique sensing element consisting of a ceramic beam supported by a center post that, when bending occurs as a result of being subjected to vibration, the cantilevered beam element yields an electrical charge. The charge signal is converted by the internal low noise charge amplifier to a proportional high level voltage signal at an output impedance of less than 500 ohms. Patented methods are used to thermally compensate the sensing element.
• Type 8688A… is a miniature and lightweight triaxial accelerometer that reduces mass loading on thin-walled structures important to multi-channel modal applications or general vibration measurements. Type 8688A… triaxial accelerometers, have an integral 4 pin connector and is designed for easy installation in confined areas where sensor may be mounted on any of three faces.
• Type 8688A… has welded titanium housing and is ground isolated when mounted with the mounting clip or adhesive mounting adapter. The sensing element design provides outstanding amplitude and phase response over a wide frequency range.
• The accelerometer operates directly from the internal power source found in most FFT analyzers, from several Kistler Piezotron® power supply couplers or any industry standard IEPE (Integrated Electronic Piezo Electric) compatible power source.

Application

• This miniature and lightweight triaxial accelerometer series is ideally suited for multiple channel modal analysis on small components or subsystems, as well as full vehicle testing for aviation, space, automotive and a wide range of general test structures.
• NOTE: Requires a thermally stable environment. Slight temperature fluctuations may cause high thermal transient output or error.
