PCB Piezotronics launches smallest ICP® high temperature
triaxial accelerometer
PCB Piezotronics,
a world leader in vibration, acoustic, pressure, force and torque
sensors has launched a new triaxial ICP® accelerometer that
is the world's smallest to be capable of operation up to 180°C.
The new PCB Model HT356B01 is able to withstand operating temperatures
up to 180°C and uses the same 6.35mm cube titanium housing
as its Model 356A01 predecessor. The hermetically sealed accelerometer
features improved strain relief with a larger, stronger crimp
tube and is compatible with an ICP® (IEPE) signal conditioner
or readout device. Its high temperature capability makes it ideal
for use in a wide range of applications including gas turbine
component qualification, engine vibration measurements - including
high performance engines such as F1 - structural vibration, environmental
stress screening, noise vibration and harshness and high temperature
vibration measurements where there are space restrictions.
Additional product highlights include 5mV/g sensitivity, measurement
range of ±1,000g peak and the highest overload limit -
10,000g - compared with competing devices. An integral 1.5m cable
to 4-pin connector and supplied mating cable assembly terminating
in BNC plugs complete the Model HT356B01 package.
Technical specifications encompass frequency range of 2 to 8000Hz
(y and z axes) and 2 to 5000Hz (x axis) all ±5%, frequency
range on x axis above 8kHz at ±1dB, resonant frequency
above 50kHz and weight without cable of 1.0grams.
The Model HT356B01 miniature triaxial accelerometer is available
via PCB Piezotronics' "On Your desk in Five Days" stock
delivery programme and is CE marked.
