Kistler’s recently announced Type 8640A accelerometer is an Integral Electronics Piezoelectric (IEPE) unit that has an IEEE TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) option. Besides weighing only 3.5 grams, the 0.394 x 0.394-inch sensor has an integral 10-32 connector and a 5-40 UNC-2B stud mount as part of its hermetically-sealed, welded titanium housing. The internal ceramic cantilever beam sensing element is thermally compensated with a temperature coefficient of sensitivity of 0.1302 %/°F.
Designed for the multi-channel modal and structural analysis of small or thin-walled structures and components, the accelerometers are offered in ranges of ±5 g, ±10 g and ±50 g, with sensitivities from 100 to 1000 mV/g.
