Miniature IEPE triaxial PiezoStar accelerometers, 50 … 100 g / 8768A

Family Type 8768A are IEPE triaxial accelerometers designed for high temperature applications. These accelerometers feature Kistler’s PiezoStar shear element design, which provides a wide operating frequency range and extremely low sensitivity to temperature changes. The IEPE sensor combines PiezoStar crystals and high gain integral hybrid microelectronics to achieve very low sensitivity variation over the operating temperature range, compared to other sensing element designs. The Kistler shear element technology also ensures high immunity to base strain errors. These accelerometers have welded titanium construction for low mass and industry standard 4-pin connectors, as well as mini 4-pin connectors for lower mass and wider frequency operation. An integral silicone cable variant is available for application of underwater vibration testing at up to 10 bar (150 psi). All variations provide reliable measurements and long-term stability, especially at higher operating temperatures.
