Meggitt Sensing Systems Introduces the Endevco Model 7268C

By DE Editors

Meggitt Sensing Systems has introduced the Endevco model 7268C miniature triaxial piezoresistive accelerometer designed for measurement of short-duration shock across three axes and in three orthogonal directions.

Housed within a package size measuring 12.7 x 10.7 x 13.7 mm (0.5 x 0.42 x 0.54 in.), the Endevco model 7268C is offered in ranges of 500g to 5,000g with 17k Hz resonant frequency; and 2,000g to 10,000g with 26k Hz resonant frequency. Sensor frequency response is 0 to 3,000Hz on the Z-axis and 0 to 1,500Hz on the X and Y axes.

The combined non-linearity and hysteresis error of the model 7268C is less than 1 percent FSO, according to the company. The sensor also incorporates integral mechanical stops, with two fixed resistors, enabling shunt calibration on each axis. Units are supplied with integral cable and the customer can select both excitation voltage and cable length.

The Endevco model 7268C is covered by a five-year warranty.
