Kistler Model 8838 & 8840 Axial/Lateral Rotational Accelerometers
The
8838 and 8840 are a novel complement of shear mode sensors
that are designed to respond to two distinctly different
forms of induced oscillations. The internal orientation
of the quartz elements enables the 8838 accelerometer
to respond to oscillations occuring about the unit's mounting
axis when installed in a non-rotating test application.
The element structure of the 8840 accelerometer is such
that the unit will accurately measure the acceleration
magnitude of oscillations laterally induced to its mounting
base.
Kistler's shear technology assures high immunity to base strain, thermal transients and transverse accelerations. Notable
features include wide frequency response, lightweight titanium construction, hermetic and ground isolation design.
INcluded within both models are signal processing electornics that convert the charge generated by the mechanical system
into a low impedance, voltage output signal. These accelerometers do not use standard voltage mode piezoelectric sensor
couplers but are powered by any commercially available (20 to 30 VDC) power supply.
