Triaxial Piezoelectric Accelerometers on-line catalog

Triaxial accelerometers are designed with three orthogonal internal sensing elements to enable simultaneous multi-axis measurements (x, y, and z-axis). Smaller units minimize mass loading effects and permit installation into confined areas. Adhesive or through hole mount styles provide an easier means for desired axis alignment, which can be cumbersome when stud mounting. A unit with a tapped hole in its base may be secured with a screw passing through the object under test to aid in axis alignment, or may be stud mounted to a separate adhesive mounting base.

Both ICP^® (IEPE) and charge output varieties are offered. Typically, ICP^® types are preferred due to their ease of use, however, when temperatures exceed the limits established by their built-in electronics, then a charge output unit is recommended.

ICP^® types typically feature a 4-pin electrical connector (for a single cable hook-up) or an integral 4-conductor cable. Charge-output types utilize three independent coaxial electrical connectors to facilitate the use of low noise coaxial cables on each independent axis (or channel).
