Accelerometer suits space-restricted applications.
Press Release Summary:
Model 357A08 charge mode accelerometer occupies 0.11 x 0.16 x 0.27 in. and weighs only 0.006 oz for minimal mass loading of test article. It connects to charge amplifiers or in-line charge converters, which condition output signal for recording or analysis. Operating temperature is -100 to 350°F. Sensor is structured with shear mode, piezoceramic sensing element and produces 0.3 pC/g output signal, with frequency response up to 12 kHz and resonant frequency of greater than 70 kHz.
Original Press Release:
Miniature Accelerometer Weighs Only 0.006 Ounces
October 1, 2002, Depew, NY - The Vibration Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., introduces a new miniature Model 357A08 charge mode accelerometer designed for performing shock and vibration studies in space-restricted locations and on small, lightweight structures. The unit occupies a 0.11 x 0.16 x 0.27 inch (2.8 x 4.1 x 6.9 mm) envelope and, weighs a mere 0.006 ounces (0.16 grams) for minimal mass loading of the test article. The unit connects to laboratory-style charge amplifiers or in-line charge converters, which condition the output signal for recording or analysis.
The device features an operating temperature range of between -100 to 350°F (-73 to 177°C) and is ideally suited for thermal cycling and vibration stress screening of circuit boards, disc drive mechanisms, cellular phones, PDAs, and other electronics. Other applications include NVH studies on automotive parts and modal analysis of small structures and satellite components.
The sensor is structured with a shear mode, piezoceramic sensing element and produces a 0.3 pC/g output signal, with frequency response of up to 12 kHz and resonant frequency of greater than 70 kHz. Additional features include a 10,000 g shock limit, an anodized aluminum housing, a 3-56 coaxial electrical connector, and a 10 ft. (3 m) low-noise, miniature cable.
