DC Response Accelerometers Offers High Sensitivity, High G Shock for Auto Testing

April 25th, 2008

The Series 3713 triaxial DC response accelerometers from PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) are designed for a variety of NVH and vehicle durability measurements in automotive and off-highway applications. For example, these accelerometers can be used for brake deceleration compliance certification; vehicle radiator and air cooler durability testing; roll stiffness/static rollover threshold tests; NVH testing; and other applications.

The accelerometers are gas damped and provide micro g resolution and ±5,000 g pk (49,033 m/s2 pk) shock survivability. Several full-scale acceleration ranges are available from 3 to 200 g, with frequency response from DC to 1,500 Hz (±10%). The sensor, a 1-inch (28mm) cube in a welded titanium case design, incorporates built-in conditioning electronics which provide amplification to the sensing elements and temperature compensated output, with choice of hermetic connector or integral cable.
