Innovative shear design
20 December 2014
The new Type 8080 back-to-back vibration calibration standard accelerometer from Kistler uses an innovative PiezoStar based sensing element, first of its kind for a back to back sensor, which combines very good transient response with very low case/base strain sensitivity and a 50g range.
The accelerometer is designed specifically for use as a transfer standard for calibrating accelerometers and is also suited to laboratory and field applications. It features low base strain, long-term and thermal stability and high frequency response.
Due to its unique shear design, it offers minimum sensitivity to shaker lateral rotation (rocking motion). A beryllium mounting base, lapped optically flat, provides optimum coupling between Type 8080 and the accelerometer being calibrated.
