PCB Piezotronics has introduced the new Model 357A67 elevated-temperature charge triaxial accelerometer. The device is the company's smallest charge output triaxial accelerometer and can withstand temperatures as high as 500F (260C).
The model is provided in small size, 0.78" x 0.4" x 0.45" (19.8mm x 10.2mm x 11.4mm), with a high charge output of 3pC/g. Its high resonant frequency is≥45kHz, and its measurement range is ±1,000g.
The model is the company's first charge output accelerometer that uses one multi-conductor cable assembly instead of three individual coaxial cable assemblies, decreasing the installation envelope of the sensor/cable pair. This model's small size and integral M3 x 0.5mm thread enable ease of mounting within customer assemblies, which can then be tested at temperatures up to 500F (260C). The rugged titanium shell is hermetically sealed, and output is through a four-pin ¼-28 pin connector.
The device can be used for many test applications involving elevated temperatures and space restrictions. Automotive applications include powertrain development and vehicle systems NVH. Aerospace and defence applications include ESS and HALT/HASS testing of satellites and vibration testing in thermal vacuum environments and on small objects, small turbines, and fuel cells.
