Measurement Specialties (Hampton, VA) offers the Model 8101 compact accelerometer designed for general-purpose vibration measurement. The plug-and-play piezoelectric linear accelerometer is available in two dynamic ranges (±40 g and ±160 g), as well as two measurement directions (X- or Z-axis configuration). The accelerometer features stable piezo-ceramic crystals in shear mode with low base strain sensitivity and a flat frequency response across a 6,000 Hz bandwidth. The accelerometer is fully potted for an environmentally sealed IP65 construction that enables the unit to be used in a variety of test and measurement applications. It features an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 oC, excitation volt- age of 7 Vdc to 30 Vdc, and shock limit of 2,000 g’s.
