The new PiezoBeam accelerometers
from Kistler Instruments come in
single axis and triaxial types, both of
which have high sensitivity, low
noise and high dynamic ranges.

Available in three ranges of ±5, ±10
and ±50g, all with a TEDS option,
they are suitable for a variety of
applications, such as modal analysis
of thin walled structures, where small
size and low mass are advantageous.

The ceramic PiezoBeam and
integral low noise charge amplifier
provide a proportional high level
voltage signal at an output
impedance of less than 500O. The
sensing element design is said to
provide outstanding amplitude and
phase response over a wide frequency
range. The welded titanium housing,
10.5mm cube for the single axis and
12.5mm cube for the triaxial, has a
single tapped mounting hole but may
be mounted on any of the three faces.

When ground isolated mounting is
required a mounting clip or adhesive
mounting adapter may be specified.
