Piezoelectric
Accelerometer Endevco Model 7703A-200-1000
The Endevco Model 7703A-XXXX ISOSHEAR piezoelectric
accelerometer is designed for modal measurement on large
structures and objects. The ISOSHEAR design is extremely
stable and virtually insensitive to such environmental
inputs as base bending and thermal transients. This line
of accelerometers has been tested in a radiation environment
up to 1E8 rads, and they are also capable of measurement
up to +550°F (+288°C). These units are hermetically sealed
against external contamination. The accelerometer is a
self-generating device that requires no external power
source for operation.
The Model 7703A-XXXX features Endevco's Piezite® Type
P-8 crystal element, operating in shear mode, which exhibits
low base strain sensitivity, high resonance frequency
and excellent output stability over time. Signal ground
is isolated from the outer case of the unit. The accelerometer
features a 10-32 side-connector. A low-noise coaxial cable
is supplied for error-free operation. The model number
suffix indicates acceleration sensitivity in pC/g; i.e.,
7703A-1000 features output sensitivity of 1000 PC/g.
Endevco Signal conditioner Models 133, 2775A or CCAS™
are recommended for use with this high impedance accelerometer.
