Miniature Single Axis Accelerometers
-
Miniature piezoelectric accelerometers are required for applications demanding high frequency range, small size, and low weight. Product testing is necessary in today’s competitive marketplace in order to optimize designs, reduce defects, and improve customer acceptance and satisfaction. Shock and vibration testing offers a structured approach for verifying survivability in environmental influences that may be encountered during service and for precipitating incipient failures so they are not encountered by the end-user. PCB® accelerometers are used extensively for monitoring an object’s response to a programmed vibration input and for controlling the vibration profiles during testing.

In-line ICP® Charge Converters
-
In-line ICP® charge converters play a vital role in converting high impedance charge mode piezoelectric sensor signals into low impedance voltage signals, facilitating input to readout, recording, and analysis instruments. Specifically engineered for compatibility with high temperature piezoelectric sensors, these units are capable of operation in environments reaching up to 500°F (260°C). The series boasts ±2.5V or ±5.0 V output, offering a range of gain options, all packaged within a compact and durable casing. As a cost-effective alternative to laboratory charge amplifiers, in-line ICP® charge converters present an appealing choice for multi-channel applications.

Sensor Cables
-
PCB® manufactures a wide variety of cable assemblies that will mate to different sensor types, signal conditioners and data acquisition systems. Cables are an important part of every measurement system. PCB carefully selects different raw cable types from trusted suppliers and time is taken to design cable to connector interfaces that will be reliable. All cable assemblies are produced at one of PCB's manufacturing locations to tightly controlled assembly procedures that ensure durability in various applications and environments.

Structural Test ICP® Accelerometers
-
Conventional structural test data systems use few to several hundred sensors. Cables bundles can be complex and confusing resulting in setup errors. Sensors with TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) allow for an internal sensor digital chip to store sensor information. This information contains descriptive identifiers that when connected to a TEDS compatible signal conditioner or data system, reads the descriptive information and automatically aligns the data system. Human error is minimized, reducing time consuming data verification or re-test. The Series 333 ICP® accelerometers, and their accessories, are designed to address the needs of multi-point modal and structural test measurement applications. This equipment was developed in conjunction with the world renowned University of Cincinnati Structural Dynamics Research Laboratory and proven in real-world testing situations. The PCB 333 Series accelerometers delivers rapid system setup, reduces human documentation errors, maintains calibration data of each sensor, allows for “Plug-and-Play” installation, reduces overall test time lowering project test costs.

Low Noise Prepolarized Microphone
378A04
-
The 378A04 is a matched system that is comprised of a high sensitivity microphone and a low noise preamplifier that contains a built-in filter that enables the free-field response to remain flat over a wide frequency range. The system requires a minimum of 4 mA and measures to 6.5 dBA (5.5 dBA typical) within a cost efficient, prepolarized (0V) design. PCB's model 378A04, the industry's first prepolarized low noise microphone and preamplifier system allows you to measure extremely low amplitudes. In the past this was only possible with externally polarized solutions. With a typical noise floor of 5.5dBA, this microphone system delivers all of the benefits commonly associated with prepolarized systems.
