TO-5 solid state piezoelectric accelerometers offer low cost solution for vibration and shock measurements in high-volume and commercial OEM applications. The compact designs may be embedded into machinery at the OEM level to provide value-added monitoring protection. The units employ field-proven, solid-state, annular shear piezoelectric sensing elements.
They are available with charge, voltage or ®ICP / ®IEPE output. They offer better resolution and broader frequency range compare to MEMS or capacitive accelerometers. They are therefore mainly used for predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, bearing and gear mesh vibration measurements, ...
