Winterthur, July 2022 - The most successful triaxial accelerometer 8763B from Kistler has been improved even further. Its noise thresholds are now significantly lower for all ranges: Thanks to improved testing procedures, thresholds are up to 58 percent lower which allows for more accurate measurements in micro-vibration monitoring. Process improvements additionally led to shorter manufacturing times and increased stock levels – resulting in reduced lead times.
Measuring micro-vibrations is necessary in many engineering applications: accurate GPS data depends on stable space crafts and satellites, while automobile developers need NVH testing (noise, vibration and harshness) to optimize driving comfort, vehicle performance, durability and reliability. Because micro-vibrations occur in the micro-g range, a highly sensitive measuring chain with very low noise is required for such applications.
