SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., 31 Oct. 2012. Meggitt Sensing Systems in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., is introducing the Endevco 35A miniature triaxial ISOTRON piezoelectric accelerometer for high-precision shock and vibration test & measurement of hard drives, electronic peripherals, engine rotor and stator blades, and other electronic components and equipment.

The shear mode Endevco 35A provides a measurement package for the collection of IEPE acceleration data across three orthogonal axes. The integral internal amplifier of the model 35A converts high-impedance accelerometer charge input into low-impedance voltage output. Output is transmitted through the same wires that supply required 4 milliamps constant current power.

Signal ground is connected to the outer case. The unit is delivered with pre-installed fine gauge (34 AWG) wires as output leads, all of which are field repairable. A lead assembly may further be factory reinstalled.

Also included is the four-conductor Endevco 3027AM5-120 cable terminating in three BNC connectors. The cable is shipped as an accessory for installation by the customer. A tool is also provided for easy field installation and removal. Units weigh just 1.1 grams without cable and are adhesive mounted for minimized mass loading.
