A new triaxial accelerometer from Meggitt Sensing Systems addresses a variety of requirements for general vibration testing. Applications from lighting systems and wireless equipment to helicopter engines and combustion turbines can take advantage of the Endevco model 2228C capabilities. These include:
- Sensitivity of 2.8 pC/g
- Ground isolated
- Light weight (15 gm)
- Requires no external power
- Operation over a temperature range of -55˚C to +177˚C (-67˚F to +350˚F)

Meggitt Sensing Systems Endevco model 8530B is a high-sensitivity absolute pressure transducer in a compact 3.86-mm face diameter package. The active four-arm strain gage bridge in silicon design is offered in ranges of 200, 500 and 1000 psia with 300 mV full scale output and high resonant frequencies of 750 kHz (200 psia). In addition, 1000 kHz versions are available in 500 and 1000 psia.
The pressure sensors have a 10-32 UNF-2A mounting thread and integral cable. An optional metric M5X0.8 mounting thread is available on special order. Target applications include hydraulic and pneumatic pressure measurements, automotive airbag testing and transmission testing applications.
