Piezoelectric
Accelerometer Endevco Model 2225/M5A
The Endevco Models 2225 and 2225M5A are light weight
piezoelectric accelerometers designed specifically for
measuring high-g shock on structures and test articles.
These sensors have been the industry standard for shock
accelerometers for over two decades. The Model 2225 features
a 10-32 threaded hole, and Model 2225M5A features a 1/4-28
threaded hole for additional mounting integrity needed
during high-g shock. The accelerometer is a self-generating
device that requires no external power source for operation.
Models 2225 and 2225M5A feature Endevco's Piezite®
Type P-8 and P-10 crystal element respectively, operating
in annular shear mode. These specially designed crystals
exhibit low base strain sensitivity, high resonance frequency
and excellent output stability over time. Signal ground
is connected to the outer case of the unit. The accelerometer
features a 10-32 top connector and requires a low-noise
coaxial cable for error-free operation.
Endevco Signal Conditioner Models 133 and 2775A are recommended
for use with these high impedance accelerometers.
