Kistler Model 8792A K-Shear® Triaxial Accelerometer
The 8792A series of quartz shear triaxial
accelerometers are rugged, low impedance voltage mode sensors. They are available in four ranges from 25g to 500g with
sensitivities from 10mV/g to 200mV/g. This triaxial design allows simultaneous shock and vibration measurements in three
mutually perpendicular axes: X, Y and Z.
Kistler's K-Shear design provides a wide operating frequency range along
with extremely low sensitivity to thermal transients, base strain and transverse acceleration. Quartz sensing crystals
ensure the long-term stability not achievable with other sensing materials.
Three Piezotron® electronic impedance
converters provide a low impedance voltage output allowing the use of low-cost cables and eliminate the need for charge
amplifiers. Another advantage of a low impedance output is the ability to drive long cable lengths with low-noise
susceptibility.
The entire unit is housed in a welded, hermetically sealed, stainless steel case for years of
reliable operation. An isolated stainless steel base is incorporated to eliminate potential ground loops. A single center
mounting hole allows for convenient attachment and alignment of the X and Y axes.
