Description

• Type 8640A… is a miniature and lightweight single axis accelerometer which reduces mass loading on thin-walled structures important to multichannel modal applications or general vibration measurements.
• Internal of 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 8640A… single axis accelerometer, has an integral 10-32 connector and is designed for easy installation in confined areas. Type 8640A… has a 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 light weight, single axis accelerometer series is ideally suited for multiple channel modal analysis on small components or subsystems and well as full vehicle testing for aviation, space, automotive as well as a wide range of general test structures.
