Accelerometer for high temperature
operation
Designed for use in aggressive environments such as automotive engine bay and under vehicle applications, aerospace subsystem vibration testing and industrial quality control
The new miniature triaxial accelerometer from Kistler Instruments has been designed for use in aggressive environments such as automotive engine bay and under vehicle applications, aerospace subsystem vibration testing and industrial quality control applications Weighing only 6.4 gram, the accelerometer has a measuring range of +/-250g with a sensitivity of 20mV/g over the frequency range of 1Hz to 9kHz with only a 5% deviation, resolving a wide range of vibration measurements

Miniature high temperature triaxial accelerometer
Designed for use in aggressive environments such as automotive engine bay and under vehicle applications, aerospace subsystem vibration testing and industrial quality control applications.
The Kistler PiezoStar crystal, in a welded hermetic ground isolated housing, ensures reliable operation over a wide temperature range from -54C to +165C.
The combination of the PiezoStar crystal and integrated high-gain microelectronics ensures very low variations in sensitivity over the whole operating temperature range compared with quartz and ceramic element accelerometers.
Mounting is by a single, M5 centre hole allowing the miniature four-pin ceramic connector to be positioned throughout 360deg for convenient cable orientation.
The new accelerometer can be powered by any Kistler power supply coupler or industry standard IEPE (integrated electronic piezoelectric) compatible power source.
