We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Frequency Response",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Accelerometers are hermetically sealed from
Measurement Specialties, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rugged devices are suitable for a wide range of applications including flight testing, environmental testing, transportation measurements and shock testing".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Encoders take on hazardous duties from
Industrial Encoder Corporation: "Explosion-proof incremental and absolute encoders offer many advantages in hazardous duty applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Endevco
concerning its Model 7290D
- take a look at Accelerometer has temperature compensation onboard
which says: "Provides very high thermal stability and global accuracy required for measurement of relatively low-level accelerations".
Take a look also at the news release from Bruel and Kjaer UK, Audio test technique needs no chamber,
as well as FEA software eases pipe design from Algor,
and Lightweight accelerometer survives rough handling from Kistler Instruments.
