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.
