Sensors measure vibration and shock
A new series of PCB Piezotronics triaxial accelerometers is now available in a variety of sizes and sensitivities from Techni Measure.
A new series of PCB Piezotronics triaxial accelerometers is now available in a variety of sizes and sensitivities from Techni Measure These sensors will simultaneously measure vibration or shock in three orthogonal directions, having three independent sensing elements oriented for response to motion along the x, y and z axes

Starin gauges for when the going gets hot
Techni Measure has launched a new specialised strain gauge range designed for measurement of strain in applications where temperatures up to 800C occur.
A wide choice of 16 different models are offered to suit a variety of applications including engine and NVH studies, modal analysis, road response tests, vehicle, flight and packaging testing.
Designed to be particularly small in size and with low profiles, the triaxial accelerometers suit testing situations where high frequency response, minimised mass loading and space restrictions apply.
The sensors are constructed in precision-machined metallic housings and have built-in microelectronic signal conditioning circuitry to provide clean, low-impedance voltage output signals (ICP) capable of being transmitted over long cable lengths.
Measuring ranges from +/-5 to +/-500g peak are available, with overload protection up to +/-5000g peak and a frequency range of 0.4 to 5000Hz, depending on chosen model.
They will operate over a temperature range of -53 to +121C and have a transverse sensitivity of less than 5%.
Multichannel signal conditioners are also available for powering the accelerometers and interfacing their measurement signals to readout, recording and analysis instrumentation.
