The Endevco Model 23 is the world's smallest triaxial
piezoelectric accelerometer, designed specifically for
vibration measurement in three orthogonal axes on small
objects such as scaled models, circuit boards and disk
drives. Its light weight 0.85 gm without the replaceable
low-noise cables, effectively eliminates mass loading
effects. All three low-noise cables exit from a single
surface to allow mounting flexibility. The accelerometer
is a self-generating device that requires no external
power source for operation.
The Model 23 features Endevco's Piezite® Type P-8
crystal elements, 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 a hard anodized surface. Specially designed
low-noise coaxial cables are supplied for error-free operation.
A unit/cable removal tool is included in the package to
ensure proper removal in the field.
Endevco Signal Conditioner Models 133, 2775A or CCAS
are recommended for use with this high impedance accelerometer.
