HARSH CONDITIONS SUIT VERSATILE ACCELEROMETER FAMILY FROM KISTLER. The 8766A series from Kistler Instruments (http://www.kistler.com/) is a family of triaxial accelerometers offering versatile performance in demanding industrial, automotive and aerospace environments. Based on Kistler's unique PiezoStar shear element design, the Type 8766A accelerometers feature a wide frequency range, extremely low sensitivity to temperature changes and high immunity to base strain errors. The new sensors are half the size and volume of previous types but feature integral hybrid microelectronics to provide performance superior to other designs. The very low sensitivity variation over the wide operating temperature range is combined with high measurement resolution, over 94 dB of dynamic range and frequency response from 1KHz to 5 KHz (5%) on each axis. The wide operating range makes the 8766A ideal for a wide variety of NVH (noise-vibration-harshness) testing and structural analysis in industrial, automotive and aerospace applications, both in test rigs and production. The low mass, hermetically sealed titanium construction and industry standard 4-pin connector ensures long-term reliability and stability, especially at high temperatures up to 165°C. The cube design, with threaded mounting holes on three sides, provides flexibility in mounting for both calibration and measurement installation. The Type 8766A series can be specified with a TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) interface and an exceptionally wide operating temperature range from -54°C to 165°C. ______________________________________________________________________ September 2007 Home - Search - Suppliers - Links - New Products - Catalogues - Magazines Problem Page - Applications - How they work - Tech Tips - Training - Events
