Piezoelectric Accelerometers

Kistler, a worldwide supplier of precision sensors, systems and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque and acceleration, has announced the availability of its Piezoelectric Accelerometer technologies for cost-effective, high-accuracy support of aircraft, helicopter, rotorcraft, missile, satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ground vibration testing (GVT), as well as large-scale MIMO and SIMO aerospace structural monitoring. Typical aerospace GVT requirements call for the use of high-performance piezoelectric accelerometers, which offer a lower per channel cost, yet which are also compact and lightweight enough to reduce the effects of mass loading on the article under test. These transducers also must offer accurate frequency and phase response within its specified frequency range. Due to the large number of accelerometers in use, requirements also call for the use of IEEE P1451.4 Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) capabilities, which are compatible with TEDS-compliant signal conditioning and data acquisition systems that minimize transcription errors and record keeping tasks. The company also offers Quartz High-Pressure Sensor and Cutting Force Dynamometer.
