Overview

High Temperature Accelerometers are designed to measure vibration in extremely high-temperature environments, ensuring reliable performance where other sensors might fail. These accelerometers are ideal for applications requiring high-impedance charge output mode and are built to endure the rigors of extreme heat.

Key Features

• High Sensitivity and Low Noise: Ensures precise vibration measurements.
• Wide Measuring Range: Capable of measuring from ±500 g to ±5,000 g peak.
• Durable Construction: Made from stainless steel or Inconel, providing exceptional durability.
• High Temperature Resilience: Operates in temperatures from –70°C to +482°C.
• Hermetically Sealed: Protects the sensor’s inner components from harsh environments.

Technical Specifications

The following table provides detailed specifications for various models of High Temperature Accelerometers:

Applications

These accelerometers are suitable for a variety of high-temperature applications including:

• High Temperature Vibration Measurements
• Engine Compartment Studies
• Exhaust Component Vibration Testing
• Steam Turbine Testing
• Engine Vibration Analysis

Operation

The core of these high-temperature accelerometers is a piezoelectric ceramic element. When subjected to vibration or shock, the ceramic element produces an electrical charge proportional to the mechanical stress applied. This charge output must be amplified to be measurable, which can be achieved using a charge amplifier or an in-line charge converter. The amplified signals then transmit to data acquisition systems for further analysis.
