Accelerometers take the heat
18 January 2014
With an operating temperature range from -54 to +165°C, the Type 8766A miniature triaxial accelerometers from Kistler Instruments are suited to use in harsh environments such as automotive engine bay and under vehicle measurements, aerospace subsystem vibration testing and industrial quality control applications.
The four models in the range, ±50g, ±100g, ±250g and ±500g, use the Kistler PiezoStar shear element design, which provides a wide operating frequency range and high levels of long term precision and stability.
The sensor design combines PiezoStar crystals and integral hybrid microelectronics to achieve very low sensitivity variation over the wide operating temperature range, compared with quartz and ceramic sensing element designs.
