Meggitt Sensing Systems Launches New Endevco Extreme Temperature Piezoelectric Accelerometers

Meggitt Sensing Systems has announced the Endevco model 2271A series, an accelerometer family designed for vibration and acceleration measurements in cryogenic and other extreme environments.

Available with either 10-32 side connector (model 2271A) or 10-32 top connector (model 2271AM20), the Endevco model 2271A series is designed to reliably operate over a wide operating temperature range of -269°C to +260°C (-452˚F to +500˚F). According to the company, units exhibit excellent output sensitivity and stability over time, with shock survivability to 10,000 g pk.

The piezoelectric sensing elements of the model 2271A series are housed in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel case, which is sealed for use in demanding environments.  Signal ground is isolated from the sensor’s outer case. A 3-meter (10 ft.) low-noise coaxial cable is supplied for error-free operation. As a self-generating device, the accelerometer family requires no external power source for operation.
