General Purpose Quartz Force Sensors
-
General purpose force sensors are offered in either stud or axial mounted configurations. They are internally pre-loaded and can be used for dynamic compression, tension, and impact force measurements. Tapped mounting holes on both ends of the radial connector style support link, platform, integrated link, and free-standing installations. The axial mounted type offers protection of the electrical connector and sensor cable from potential damage during drop testing and in free-standing installations. Supplied impact caps facilitate impact and drop force measurements.

High Temperature ICP® Accelerometers
-
PCB® offers specially designed and tested ICP® accelerometers for conducting vibration and shock measurements under demanding environmental conditions of up to 356 °F (180 °C). These sensors combine proven quartz and ceramic shear sensing technology with specialized, built-in microelectronic signal conditioning circuitry to achieve dependable operation in extreme temperatures and through repetitive temperature cycling. Laser-welded, hermetically sealed, lightweight titanium or stainless steel housings offer further protection from the environment. Prior to shipment, each sensor undergoes a battery of tests to ensure survivability for its intended use. Such tests include temperature soak at elevated temperatures, temperature cycling, and exposure to highly accelerated screening procedures with hydraulically actuated shakers.

Building Acoustics
-
Measurements to evaluate and improve Building Acoustics are typically made to analyze and design noise control from room to room, or from outside to inside. Noise sources such as music systems, televisions, appliances, traffic, aircraft, and manufacturing are all around us. The field of Building Acoustics evaluates and designs the materials and methods to insulate and isolate us all from these sound sources when we are at work, rest, or enjoying leisure time. The resulting data is useful for evaluating compliance with building codes and for proposing countermeasures for areas of concern. These measurements often involve creating and measuring an artificial sound source, and then measuring the resulting noise in receiver locations.

Digital ICP® - USB Signal Conditioner
-
The Digital ICP®-USB Signal Conditioner, Model 485B39, offers plug-and-play connectivity for your measurements. Model 485B39 from The Modal Shop, a wholly owned subsidiary of PCB Piezotronics, is a pocket-sized, dual-channel ICP to USB digital signal conditioner. The unit provides any ICP sensor – accelerometers, microphones, impact hammers, laser tachometers, and more – with a digital USB output. It is truly plug-and-play, with no drivers required. Digital ICP features two BNC inputs and a 24-bit USB digital signal output, allowing a direct connection from the sensor to any PC, tablet, or smartphone device for easy data collection, analysis, and sharing on-the-go.

Multi-purpose Signal Conditioners
-
The 482C series comprises 4-channel benchtop signal conditioners, while the 483C series offers 8-channel rack-mounted units. Utilizing identical signal conditioning electronics across equivalent 4 and 8-channel models ensures consistent performance. Both signal conditioner series offer standalone units with essential functionalities, as well as units equipped with advanced features like a front panel keypad and display or an Ethernet port for computer control. Additional features encompass gain adjustment, filtering options, LED fault indicators, and TEDS capability.

Modern Prepolarized Precision Condenser Microphones & Preamplifiers
-
Modern prepolarized microphones are designed with newer technology than traditional externally polarized microphones. Prepolarized microphones have many advantages over the externally polarized models. They use ICP® power circuitry invented for sensors by PCB®. By applying a polymer coating to the top of the backplate and embedding a charge on it, expensive 200V power supplies can be eliminated and 2-20 mA constant current supplies or signal conditioners can be used as the power source.

Ground Isolated ICP® Pressure Sensors For High Frequency
-
PCB® Series 102B is a ground isolated version of the Series 113B. These sensors have all of the same features and benefits of the 113B Series, plus the added benefit of isolation, which helps prevent ground loop problems. This series can accommodate an optional ablative coating (Prefix: CA) to protect the diaphragm from thermal shock in flash-temperature applications.
