Accelerometer for testing dynamic acceleration effects

Accelerometer for testing dynamic acceleration effects Sound and vibration expert, Bruel and Kjaer has launched a new range of versatile DC Response Accelerometers suitable for testing dynamic acceleration effects on a number of applications, including aerospace.

Designed to be incredibly robust, the new Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems DC response accelerometers can reportedly withstand high-mechanical shocks of up to 10,000g and have been gas-damped, making them resistant to temperatures ranging from 254 to+121°C.

Considered ideal for measuring low frequency, motion and the tilt of objects under constant force, the DC Accelerometers can be used for studying acceleration effects within many industries, such as aerospace – to test aircraft, missiles, helicopters and satellites.

Currently available in 36 variants, Bruel and Kjaer's DC Response Accelerometers are individually calibrated to provide a specified frequency range and offer two operating temperature ranges to suit customer requirements.
