Triaxial accelerometer

Dytran Instruments has released a miniature triaxial accelerometer, utilising quartz shear technology, coupled with 2-wire internal IEPE electronics.

Model 3023A9 contains three miniature quartz laminar shear mode accelerometer elements mounted to a single support and welded into titanium housing. The three elements are mounted orthogonally to each other so that they can measure the complete motion point.

This unit is designed to mount by means of a 10-32 tapped hole in the base. It has a sensitivity of a 1 mV/g, a single connector, is hermetically sealed and weighs only 4 g. The labels of the axes X, Y and Z are laser marked in a large font on the orthogonal faces aiding the user in orienting the sensor.

The model 3023A9 is the newest addition to the 3023A family of triaxial accelerometer. These units vary in sensitivity (1 mV/g to 100 mV/g), mounting style (10-32 stud, 5-40 stud and adhesive) and connector (single 4-pin or single 5-pin). High temperature and TEDS versions are available.

Potential applications include modal analysis, noise, vibration and harshness measurement, and environmental stress screening.
