Kistler has announced the global market launch of Kistler Type 8688A(x), a cost effective triaxial PiezoBeam accelerometer with wide mounting flexibility, designed for accurate measurement frequency events from 0,5 up to 5 000 Hz. Available in three different ranges for 5, 10 and 50 g, the accelerometer incorporates a bimorph piezoceramic sensing element, with internal Piezotron charge converter matching most current front end systems with constant current line drive capability. The device also offers TEDS IEEE1451.4 capability as an option to simplify the daily measurement work. Low noise and low interference offer a high resolution up to 140 μg. This three axis accelerometer with cube shape titanium housing is hermetically sealed and allows various mounting technologies, like attaching to the test surface with any available side with wax, adhesive, and tape. In addition, clip and stud technology are available as the sensor has a 10-32UNF threaded hole.
