The sensing elements are designed to provide outstanding amplitude and phase response over a wide frequency range and are temperature compensated using Kistler’s own patented methods.

Sensors are ideal for modal and structural analysis, general purpose vibration measurements 

Kistler Instrument (Amherst, NY) has announced the debut of Type 8688A, a globally patented (U.S. patent number 12,088,325) series of high-sensitivity IEPE triaxial accelerometers, with optional TEDS, designed to simultaneously measure vibration in three orthogonal axes. Additional features include:  

• Availability in ranges of ±5, ±10 and ±50 g.
• A choice of 100, 500 or 1,000 mV/g sensitivities.
• PiezoBeam technology, with an integral ceramic cantilevered beam.
• A welded titanium housing that weighs less than 6.7 g (1,000 mV/g).  
• Units that are ground isolated when mounted with a mounting clip or adhesive mounting adapter.
• An integral 4-pin connector, facilitating easy mounting and installation into space confined areas.
• The sensors can be mounted on any of  its 3 faces.
• Applicability in multi-channel modal and structural analyses of small components or subsystems, aerospace and automotive vehicle testing and select general purpose vibration sensing applications, particularly those where mass loading may be a concern. 

Why Would I Specify?

• The sensing elements are designed to provide outstanding amplitude and phase response over a wide frequency range and are temperature compensated using Kistler’s own patented methods.
• An integral low-noise charge amplifier converts the charge signal to a proportional high level voltage signal, at an output impedance of less than 500 ohms.
• The accelerometer operates directly from the internal power source found in most FFT analyzers, Kistler Piezotron power supply couplers or any industry-compatible power source.
