Description

Internal of the 8762A… accelerometer is a unique annular, shear

sensor element that features extremely low thermal transient

response, a high immunity to base strain and transverse acceleration.

An advanced hybrid charge amplifier design provides outstanding

phase response as well as a wide operating frequency

range. The light weight aluminum housing is epoxy sealed and

hard anodized coated to provide ground isolation.

Each of the three sensing elements is internally connected to a

microelectronic circuit that converts the charge from the ceramic

piezoelectric elements into a useable high level voltage signal at

a low impedance output. The 8762A… accelerometer series will

operate directly from the internal power source found in most

FFT analyzers; from several Kistler Piezotron? power supply couplers

or any industry standard IEPE (Integrated Electronic Piezo-

Electric) compatible power source.

Application

The lightweight 8762A… triaxial accelerometer series, is highly

desirable for measurement applications on light weight structures

where mass loading must be kept to a minimum. The accelerometers

are highly suited for multi-channel measurements; modal

analysis measurements on automotive bodies and aircraft structures;

general vibration measurements.
