Three-axis accelerometer toughs it out
Endevco's new Model 7268C is a miniature piezoresistive accelerometer that employs advanced micromachined sensors with integral mechanical stops for ruggedness and years of reliable service.
Endevco's new Model 7268C is a miniature piezoresistive accelerometer (10 x 10 x 13mm) that employs advanced micromachined (MEMS) sensors with integral mechanical stops for ruggedness and years of reliable service This three-axis accelerometer is designed for applications that require minimal mass loading, such as crash testing and flutter testing, and meets SAE J211 specifications for anthropomorphic dummy instrumentation

Accelerometer resists interference
The Endevco Model 7293A Microtron accelerometer family uses unique variable capacitance microsensors and incorporates special filtering and shielding for EMI and RFI exposure.
The Model 7268C's broad frequency response extends down to DC (steady state) acceleration, allowing it to measure both long duration transients and short duration shocks.
Based on Endevco's proprietary sensor design, the Model 7268C offers high output and high resonance frequency.
The sensor has minimum damping, thereby producing no phase shift over the useful frequency range.
An operating temperature of -18 to +66C) ensures high performance even under the harshest testing conditions.
Two active arms and two internal precision fixed resistors provide shunt calibration, while internal diodes furnish electrostatic discharge protection.
A 12-wire integral cable is also included.
The Model 7268C is the replacement for the Model 7268B and is available in two acceleration ranges, 500 or 2000g full scale.
