ICP® Accelerometers With Excellent Thermal Stability
-
The single and triaxial ICP® accelerometers are designed with a low temperature coefficient, wide operating temperature range, and good broadband measurement resolution, making them ideal for any vibration measurement requiring tight control of amplitude sensitivity over a wide thermal gradient. To alleviate the effects of high frequency overloads caused by metal-to-metal inputs, a low pass filter has been incorporated in all models, ensuring accurate data in the frequency range of interest.

In-line ICP® Charge Converters
-
In-line ICP® charge converters play a vital role in converting high impedance charge mode piezoelectric sensor signals into low impedance voltage signals, facilitating input to readout, recording, and analysis instruments. Specifically engineered for compatibility with high temperature piezoelectric sensors, these units are capable of operation in environments reaching up to 500°F (260°C). The series boasts ±2.5V or ±5.0 V output, offering a range of gain options, all packaged within a compact and durable casing. As a cost-effective alternative to laboratory charge amplifiers, in-line ICP® charge converters present an appealing choice for multi-channel applications.

Cable Test Box
-
Cables are a critical part of any sensor measurement system and damaged cables cause frequent delays during test setup. PCB has developed a relatively simple device to test cables on a channel by channel basis for BNC, 10-32, and 5-44 coaxial connectors. Simply connect both ends of the cable and faults will be indicated for shield failure, conductor failure, or short circuit shield to conductor. Power is provided by a single, replaceable 9 volt battery.
