Piezoelectric accelerometers, triaxial, charge mode, high temperature, ceramic shear, 1000 g / 8290A

The 8290A high temperature, triaxial piezoelectric accelerometer is housed in a cube-shaped package with a notched corner to aid in orientation during installation in blind areas. Laser-etched markings on all sides clearly identify the three axes. A ceramic shear sensing element produces a charge output that can be easily converted into a useable analog voltage signal via a charge amplifier. Kistler’s shear technology assures high immunity to base strain, thermal transients and transverse accelerations. Other outstanding features include high frequency response, lightweight and hermetic sealing. It is recommended that low noise transducer cables be used between the sensor and charge amplifier, such as Kistler 1635 series.
