Low cost, single axis accelerometers
from Kistler Instruments use
PiezoBeam technology to provide a
high degree of sensitivity to size ratio
for a wide range of applications
including modal analysis and seismic
measurement.

The Type 8640A IEPE (Integrated
Electronics Piezo Electric) sensors
are available in three ranges; 5, 10
and 50g for accurate measurements
in the frequency range 0.5 to 5000Hz.

The bimorph piezoceramic sensing
element with built-in temperature
compensation is combined with an
integrated Piezotron charge converter
compatible with most current line
drive front-end systems. Low noise
and low interference ensure a high
resolution of up to 140µg.

The cube shaped titanium body is
hermetically sealed and facilitates
mounting in any position using
adhesives or wax to attach the sensor
to the test surface.
