Triaxial Accelerometer Kistler 8248A3

• The Type 8248A3 high temperature, triaxial accelerometer is housed in a rectangular-shaped package with a center through-hole for seamless orientation of the sensor. Laser-etched markings on all sides clearly identify the three axes. A ceramic shear sensing element produces a charge output that can be easily converted into a useable analog voltage signal via a charge amplifier. Kistler’s shear technology assures high immunity to base strain, thermal transients and transverse accelerations. Other outstanding features include high frequency response, lightweight and hermetic sealing. It is recommended that low noise transducer cables be used between the sensor and charge amplifier, such as the Kistler Type 1766AK03SP, or Type 1766AK04SP.

It is recommended that low noise transducer cables beused between the sensor and charge amplifier, such as the Kistler Type 1766AK03SP, or Type 1766AK04SP. Internal of this hermetically sealed accelerometer, is a shear mode,
  ceramic sensing element, providing a significant charge output. Type 5050B… In-Line Charge Amplifier is recommended for use with the 8248A3. The Type 5050B… is a lower cost alternative to the laboratory amplifier allowing the measurement system to take on the appearance of the traditional voltage mode accelerometer and power supply/coupler

Application

• The Type 8248A3 is recommended for general vibration measurements in high temperature and in confined areas. Applications for this accelerometer include vehicle vibration and NVH testing, general laboratory, environmental testing where low impedance sensors are limited by temperature range. It can also be used in ESS, and modal analysis applications
