Kistler Debuts Type 8688A IEPE Triaxial TEDS Accelerometer

By DE Editors

Kistler Instrument Corporation has released the Type 8688A series of IEPE triaxial accelerometers, with optional TEDS, designed to simultaneously measure vibration in three orthogonal axes.

Available in ranges of ±5g, ±10g and ±50g, with choice of 100, 500 or 1000 mV/g sensitivities, the Type 8688A IEPE triaxial range incorporates Kistler PiezoBeam technology, with an integral ceramic cantilevered beam, enclosed within a lightweight titanium housing. Sensing elements are designed to provide amplitude and phase response over a wide frequency range, and are temperature compensated.

Type 8688A sensors feature an integral low-noise charge amplifier that converts the charge signal to a proportional high-level voltage signal, at an output impedance of less than 500 ohms. Units are ground isolated when mounted with a mounting clip or adhesive mounting adapter. Type 8688A triaxial accelerometers offer an integral 4-pin connector. Sensors may be mounted on any of three faces.
