Kistler Instruments has introduced two new miniature single axis accelerometers with ranges of +/-100g and +/-500g for use at temperatures from - 54C to +165C
The low mass and small profile combined with integral ground isolation and centre hole fixing allowing 360deg cable orientation makes the new Type 8714B accelerometers ideal for use in a wide variety of applications.
The sensor design uses an annular shear piezo-ceramic with an internal hybrid impedance converter to provide a low impedance output in a titanium/aluminium housing hermetically sealed to IP68.
The wide frequency range of 1Hz to 10kHz, high shock load capability of 5000g and small size make the new accelerometer well suited to measurement solutions in hard-to-mount locations when cable orientation is important or height restrictions apply.
