Kistler Instrument Corporation has released the Type 8688A series of IEPE triaxial accelerometers, with optional TEDS, designed to simultaneously measure vibration in three orthogonal axes. Available in ranges of ±5g, ±10g and ±50g, with choice of 100, 500 or 1000 mV/g sensitivities, the Type 8688A IEPE triaxial range incorporates Kistler PiezoBeam technology, with an integral ceramic cantilevered beam, enclosed within a lightweight titanium housing. Sensing elements are designed to provide amplitude and phase response over a wide frequency range, and are temperature compensated. Type 8688A sensors feature an integral low-noise charge amplifier that converts the charge signal to a proportional high-level voltage signal, at an output impedance of less than 500 ohms. Units are ground isolated when mounted with a mounting clip or adhesive mounting adapter. Type 8688A triaxial accelerometers offer an integral 4-pin connector. Sensors may be mounted on any of three faces. For more information, visit Kistler Instrument Corporation.
