Universal Accelerometers
The piezoelectric accelerometers shown on this page are intended for
standard applications in laboratory and industry. There are models with
charge output and with
IEPE compatible voltage output. All
types have stainless steel cases and M5 base threads for mounting. The
transducers of KS series have a shear type sensing element making them
less susceptible to thermal
transients and base strain.
The accelerometers of KD series have a
compression type sensing element
combining rugged design, precision and low cost. For measurements below
3 Hz generally shear type accelerometers
of KS series should be preferred.
Models KS56 and KS57 can be used at temperatures up to 250 °C (480 °F).
The low-cost accelerometer KS90B and KS901B are intended for OEM applications in machines or instruments. Model KS90 can be used in charge mode or, with a high-impedance voltage amplifier, in voltage mode.
Useful technical information about piezoelectric accelerometers can be found on our Theory pages.
