Smallest, Lightest Triaxial Accelerometer

June 2, 2005, Depew, NY -The Vibration Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., introduces a new Miniature, Triaxial, Lightweight, Ceramic Shear ICP® accelerometer. Model 356A13 has a sensitivity of 5 mV/g and a measurement range of В±1000 g peak. It is hermetically sealed in a titanium housing and is adhesive mounted. It features an integral, light gauge, twisted quad cable extending 5 ft. from the sensor, terminating in a 4-pin jack. This allows the cable to be easily routed around components especially when the sensor is mounted in tight areas. Also included with each sensor is a 5 ft, 4 conductor shielded cable with a mating 4 pin plug, terminating in 3 BNC plugs, for a full running length of 10 ft. 

The 356A13 is ideally suited for shock and vibration measurements in space-restricted locations, on very small lightweight structures. Its small size, 0.25 in cube (6.35mm), light weight 0.04 oz (1.0 gm) and unique cable arrangement make it ideal for use anywhere mass loading must be minimized. The sensor features built-in microelectronic signal conditioning circuitry that offers a low-noise, low impedance output signal while permitting long distance signal transmission and simplicity of operation. This durable design operates in -65 to +250 В°F temperatures, and survives accidental shock inputs to В±10,000 g.
