CAPACITIVE ACCELEROMETERS HAVE WIDE MEASURING RANGE. The new range of single axis K-Beam® capacitive accelerometers from Kistler Instruments (www.kistler.com) covers the measuring range from 2g to 100g in five models with the option of either unipolar or differential output. The three layer, micro-machined, variable capacitance, silicon sensing element measures acceleration in truly static or low amplitude, very low frequency environments. The Type 8305B accelerometers are fully calibrated sensors with all excitation and signal conditioning electronics integrated into a single package combining high sensitivity with virtual immunity to temperature transients. Suitable for automobile, aerospace, structural analysis, robotics and vibration life test applications, the Type 8305B accelerometers have a hard anodised case only 9 mm high and 22 mm square. K-Beam accelerometers combine high level signal output with excellent long-term stability. The standard configuration provides the convenience of a single polarity power supply and a single-ended output. The wide operating voltage range from 7 to 32 volts allows the Type 8305B to be powered from a 9 volt alkaline battery or a regulated DC power supply. The 8305B series are low cost, general-purpose accelerometers for use wherever low level, low frequency vibration needs to be measured accurately and reliably.
