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.
Its extremely small size facilitates installation in hard to access areas or on small electronic assemblies.
Using three micromachined sensors, the rugged Model 7269 offers exceptional output and high resonance frequency.
This sensor includes integral mechanical stops and internal diodes for electrostatic discharge protection.
The accelerometer has a full scale output of 400mV using 10V DC excitation.
Minimum damping produces negligible phase shift over the specified frequency range.
The frequency response extends down to DC (steady state) acceleration, making the Model 7269 ideal for measuring long-duration transient shocks.
Endevco's Model 4430A or Oasis 2000 computer-controlled system are recommended as signal conditioner and power supply.
