Meggitt Sensing Systems Introduces Endevco Low Mass Piezoresistive Accelerometers

By DE Editors

Meggitt Sensing Systems has introduced the Endevco model 7287, a small footprint, low mass piezoresistive accelerometer weighing less than 1 gram, designed for the cost-effective measurement of long duration transient shocks, such as those found in product and packaging drop testing,  shipping container shock testing, jack hammer testing and high-g destructive testing applications.

With a measurement range of 2,000 g, 200 mV full scale output and a high resonance frequency of more than 20,000 Hz, the Endevco model 7287 uses a MEMS sensing element incorporating integral mechanical stops and features a small, lightweight, easy-to-mount package for minimal mass loading of the test structure. This monolithic sensor design offers frequency response from DC to 4,000 Hz at ±5%, with non-linearity of <1% and ruggedness to 10,000 g shock. The Endevco model 7287 has also minimum damping.

Units are available with adhesive mounting or integral bracket for screw mounting and are supplied with a strong PVC jacketed cable in standard lengths.
