Miniature triaxial accelerometers

Published:  24 February, 2014

With an operating temperature range from -54°C to 165°C, the Type 8766A miniature triaxial accelerometers from KISTLER INSTRUMENTS are said to be ideal for 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 outstanding 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. The hermitically sealed, welded titanium, ground isolated, IP68 housing permits operation in harsh, dirty or wet environments.

The company says this provides the best possible ergonomic grip around the barrel which has a perfect circumference and shape, and allows convenient and comfortable grip for best possible comfort and machine control. All models feature the new design of wheel cover which can be moved to any desired position for protection whilst the grinding wheel is exposed for work. The wheel cover position can be altered without the need for tools. The spindle lock button is conveniently placed on top of the transmission housing.
