Miniature, Light Weight, Single Axis Accelerometers

May 10, 2005, Depew, NY -The Vibration Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., introduces two new miniature, light weight, Single Axis, Ceramic Shear ICPВ® accelerometers. PCB Model 352A71, has a sensitivity of 10 mV/g and a measurement range of В±500 g peak, while Model 352A73, has a sensitivity of 5 mV/g and corresponding measurement range of В±1,000 g peak. These sensors are hermetically sealed in titanium housings and are adhesive mounted. They feature an integral light gauge, twisted pair cable extending 1 ft. from the sensor that allows the sensor to be mounted in tight areas and maintain maximum flexibility. The twisted pair is spliced into a slightly heavier gauge coaxial cable, for a full running length of 10 ft.

They are ideally suited for measurements of small electronic components, circuit boards, brackets, mini structures, and general vibration work. Their small size, light weight and unique cable arrangement make these sensors ideal for use anywhere mass loading must be minimized. These sensors feature 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. These durable designs operate in -65 to +250 В°F temperatures, and survive accidental shock inputs to В±10,000 g.
