The light weight, low profile 8720A500 uses the K-shear
quartz sensing element. Operation in the shear mode reduces sensitivity to thermal transients, base strain and transverse
motion. Long-term stability and accuracy is achieved by use of a quartz crystal sensing element. The internal circuit
Piezotron® built-in impedance converter provides a low impedance output which eliminates the need for expensive low noise
cable and chrage amplifier.
The accelerometer case is constructed of titanium and is hermetically sealed to insure years
of reliable operation. The ground isolated base is designed for adhesive mounting and exceptional flatness insures maximum
high frequency sensitivity.
