High Sensitivity ICP® Accelerometers
-
High sensitivity ICP® accelerometers are specifically designed to enable the detection of ultra-low-level, low-frequency vibrations associated with very large structures, foundations, and earth tremors. These sensors typically possess exceptional measurement resolution as the result of its comparatively larger size, which furnishes a stronger output signal and a lower noise floor. All units are hermetically sealed in a titanium or stainless steel housing. Models that include a 2-pin, military style connector provide the added benefit of being electrically case isolated for superior RF and EMI protection.

High Temperature ICP® Accelerometers
-
PCB® offers specially designed and tested ICP® accelerometers for conducting vibration and shock measurements under demanding environmental conditions of up to 356 °F (180 °C). These sensors combine proven quartz and ceramic shear sensing technology with specialized, built-in microelectronic signal conditioning circuitry to achieve dependable operation in extreme temperatures and through repetitive temperature cycling. Laser-welded, hermetically sealed, lightweight titanium or stainless steel housings offer further protection from the environment. Prior to shipment, each sensor undergoes a battery of tests to ensure survivability for its intended use. Such tests include temperature soak at elevated temperatures, temperature cycling, and exposure to highly accelerated screening procedures with hydraulically actuated shakers.

3-Component Quartz Force Rings And Links
-
Three-component dynamic force sensors are offered in both ICP® and charge output configurations for dynamic and quasi-static force measurement applications. Each utilizes an array of precision aligned, quartz sensing crystals. Measurements along the z-axis are proportional to applied compression, tension and impact forces. Measurements along the x and y axes are proportional to shear forces that are imposed upon preloaded crystals by the test fixture.

Digital ICP® - USB Signal Conditioner
-
The Digital ICP®-USB Signal Conditioner, Model 485B39, offers plug-and-play connectivity for your measurements. Model 485B39 from The Modal Shop, a wholly owned subsidiary of PCB Piezotronics, is a pocket-sized, dual-channel ICP to USB digital signal conditioner. The unit provides any ICP sensor – accelerometers, microphones, impact hammers, laser tachometers, and more – with a digital USB output. It is truly plug-and-play, with no drivers required. Digital ICP features two BNC inputs and a 24-bit USB digital signal output, allowing a direct connection from the sensor to any PC, tablet, or smartphone device for easy data collection, analysis, and sharing on-the-go.

ICP® Accelerometers With Excellent Thermal Stability
-
The single and triaxial ICP® accelerometers are designed with a low temperature coefficient, wide operating temperature range, and good broadband measurement resolution, making them ideal for any vibration measurement requiring tight control of amplitude sensitivity over a wide thermal gradient. To alleviate the effects of high frequency overloads caused by metal-to-metal inputs, a low pass filter has been incorporated in all models, ensuring accurate data in the frequency range of interest.
