The Endevco Model 22 Picomin is the world's smallest
piezoelectric accelerometer, designed specifically for
vibration measurement on small objects such as scaled
models, circuit boards and disk drives. Its light weight,
0.14 gm effectively eliminates mass loading effects. The
transducer is designed to have reverse polarity with respect
to acceleration going into the mounting base. The accelerometer
is a self-generating device that requires no external
power source for operation.
The Model 22 features Endevco's Piezite® Type P-8
crystal element, operating in radial shear mode, which
exhibits excellent output sensitivity stability over time.
Signal ground is isolated from the mounting surface of
the unit by hard anodized surface. Specially designed
low-noise coaxial able is supplied for error-free operation.
A tool is included in the package to ensure proper removal
of the cable and transducer in the field.
Endevco Signal Conditioner Models 133, 2775A or CCAS
are recommended for use with this high impedance accelerometer.
