Accelerometers

Piezoelectric acceleration sensors are either with built-in electronics (ICP®) or without (charge output type). ICP accelerometers are generally preferred due to their ease of use and low cost. Charge output sensors are used for high temperature environments that would otherwise destroy the electrical components contained in the ICP type. Charge output sensors can withstand temperatures higher than + 260 ° C (for some models up to + 649 ° C). Miniature piezoelectric sensors are characterized by exceptional durability because they have no moving parts. Their rigidity allows them to have a high frequency range. The lightweight design minimizes the weight load. They have numerous configuration options. Mounting is possible by screwing, protrusion or using adhesive. They are available in versions with Quartz (for thermal stability) and with ceramic (for high measurement resolution). High-temperature ICP acceleration sensors form another important category, they can withstand temperatures u

Basic information

Highly sensitive accelerometers are specifically designed to detect very low, low-frequency vibrations associated with large structures, foundations and ground shaking. ICP accelerometers for shock applications withstand extreme conditions such as high amplitudes, short durations or transient accelerations. PCB accelerometers provide the measurement signals needed to control the input vibration and analyze the product response to the test: whether we have achieved the required acceleration amplitudes and frequencies, whether the product responds consistently, whether any of the components or mounting techniques have changed, etc. Miniature sensors with Ceramis Shear ICP® have excellent signal-to-noise ratio and high measurement resolution. Due to their inherently high sensitivity, Ceramic ICP accelerometers can be mounted with less weight than comparable quartz sensors, resulting in a sensor that is lighter, has a higher frequency response and lower noise.

Product use

Single-axis accelerometers are mainly used for general vibration testing, product testing, structural testing, vibration control or object drop testing. Three-axis accelerometers are often used in modal analysis, micromachining, vibration isolation and in motors and pumps. Miniature piezoelectric sensors are used for drop and packaging tests, qualification of small parts, low-amplitude vibration measurement, high-frequency applications or in space-constrained installations. The use of high-temperature ICP sensors is particularly popular in HALT / HASS or ESS tests as part of quality assurance in the development phase, where the limits of the product are sought, which is therefore exposed to extreme conditions: high temperature, thermal stress, environmental testing and vibration testing in a climatic/temperature chamber. ICP shock sensors are more often used for piston monitoring, pyroshock simulation, recoil and penetration, dynamic pressure monitoring.
