August 7, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – The Vibration Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., (PCB®) has expanded its line of
Health & Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) products, to include new ICP®, charge output and high temperature sensors. HUMS
products are designed for in-flight monitoring and predictive maintenance of critical flight systems on helicopters and some fixed wing aircraft.
PCB® HUMS sensors feature a robust design, are available in either ICP® or charge output designs, with top or side exit electrical
connectors, and in a variety of hermetically sealed physical configurations. High temperature versions operate up
to +900 ºF (+482 ºC); with a + 500 g pk measurement range; and in frequencies of up to 15k Hz. Also available is the new
Model 495B10 differential charge converter, operating from aircraft power, will condition the signal of a charge output accelerometer,
enabling it to be used by standard data acquisition equipment.
PCB® manufactures a variety of aerospace sensors and signal conditioners for flutter test; load factor measurement; structural
dynamics; acoustics and turbulent flow; control system input and response tests;
engine/airframe and aircraft carrier qualification; and troubleshooting. For additional information on aerospace accelerometers,
