Accelerometers, Single Axis
Kistler offers ceramic shear universal single axis Accelerometers. Available in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g and 500 g ranges, this sensor family is expected to be one of the most popular in Kistler's portfolio. Offering a modular concept, these 3 gram sensors can be chosen with integral stud, or a ground isolated adhesive base. The wide frequency response, and low noise level of the design will allow usage in the most demanding applications. These sensors are based on the same ceramic shear element as the 8763B and 8764B. This allows for a competitive solution pricewise, wherever thermal stability is not an issue for the customer. A top or side connector version can be selected for the most popular applications, whereas an IP68 waterproof solution with an integral cable is also offered. The IP68 option will be certified to survive up to 48 hours of continuous exposure to 16 bars of pressure with certificate provided to the customer. Applications/sectors: the first target application will be structural testing or operational modal analysis where customers are looking for: light weight, modular, rugged, low noise and economical solution. Other possible applications where thermal stability is not of concern for the customer: condition monitoring, vehicle testing, or any other general vibration testing where light weight, wide frequency response and rugged design are required. For the underwater version: already targeted for nuclear power plant acceptance testing of reactor and heat exchangers; modal analysis of ship sub-components or full structures; civil engineering structural/vibration testing (bridges, wind turbines). Advantages: 3 grams multipurpose sensor family; 50 g, 100 g, 250 g and 500 g ranges with adhesive/stud mount and top/side connector; and IP68 integral cable option.
