The 8704B5000 accelerometer accurately measures mechanical
shock up to 5,000 g. The unique K-SHEAR sensing system is insensitive to base strain, transverse accelerationand thermal
transients. Quartz sensing crystals ensure the long-term stability not achievable with other sensing materials. The sensor
is constructed in a hermetically sealed, welded, titanium case.
The 10-32 thread top connector is specially designed to
provide years of reliable opeartion under conditions where repeated shock and vibration is encountered. The base of the
accelerometer contains 10-32 threaded hole for stud mounting the unit to the test structure. The built-in Piezotron®
electronic impedance converter, provides a low impedance voltage output signal allowing the use of inexpensive coaxial
cable. The shock accelerometer can be powered by a Kistler 5100 series coupler/signal conditioner or by any commercially
available voltage mode piezoelectric sensor power supply.
