PCB Piezotronics has introduced the Model 357A67, an elevated temperature charge triaxial accelerometer. This new model is PCB’s smallest charge output triaxial accelerometer and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).
The Model 357A67 is PCB’s first charge output accelerometer to use a single multi-conductor cable assembly instead of three individual coaxial cable assemblies, a design choice that aims to reduce the installation space required for the sensor and cable.
The accelerometer, according to PCB, is suitable for various high-temperature and space-constrained test applications. In the automotive sector, it can be used for powertrain development and vehicle systems NVH testing. In aerospace and defense, it is applicable for ESS and HALT/HASS testing of satellites, vibration testing in thermal vacuum environments, and testing on small objects, turbines and fuel cells.
Key features of Model 357A67 include its compact size of 0.78 x 0.40 x 0.45in (19.8 x 10.2 x 11.4mm); a high charge output of 3.0pC/g; a high resonant frequency of ≥45kHz and a measurement range of ±1,000g
It also has a rugged, hermetically sealed titanium shell and a 4-pin 1/4-28 pin connector for output.
