High Sensitivity Pressure Sensors
-
High sensitivity ICP® pressure sensors are for low pressure measurements requiring excellent resolution and small size. They are used to measure small dynamic hydraulic and pneumatic pressures such as turbulence, noise, sound, and pulsations, especially in adverse environments. They are capable of measuring high-intensity sound pressures from 111 to 210 dB at any static pressure level from full vacuum to 1,000 psi (6,895 kPa).

Quartz ICP® Force Rings
-
Ring-style sensor configurations measure dynamic compression. Tension measurements are also possible if the unit has been installed with proper pre-load. The through-hole mounting supports platform, integrated link, and support style installations using either a through-bolt or the supplied stud.

High Sensitivity ICP® Accelerometers
-
High sensitivity ICP® accelerometers are specifically designed to enable the detection of ultra-low-level, low-frequency vibrations associated with very large structures, foundations, and earth tremors. These sensors typically possess exceptional measurement resolution as the result of its comparatively larger size, which furnishes a stronger output signal and a lower noise floor. All units are hermetically sealed in a titanium or stainless steel housing. Models that include a 2-pin, military style connector provide the added benefit of being electrically case isolated for superior RF and EMI protection.

Miniature Piezoelectric Accelerometers
-
Structured with highly sensitive piezoceramic sensing elements, miniature Ceramic Shear ICP® Accelerometers have an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, high measurement resolution, and are ideal for conducting low-level vibration measurements. Due to their inherent higher sensitivity, a ceramic ICP® accelerometer can be assembled with a smaller mass than comparable quartz units, resulting in a sensor that is lighter in weight, has a higher frequency response, and has a lower noise floor. To further reduce the mass of the sensors, all ceramic shear accelerometers are housed in either tough, lightweight, laser-welded, hermetically sealed, titanium or aluminum housings. By minimizing the mass of the sensor, mass loading effects are reduced, which maximizes the accuracy of the data obtained.

3-Component Quartz Force Links
261 Series
-
Three-component force links eliminate the preload requirement of 3-component quartz force ring sensors, and offers a convenient, 4-screw hole mounting plate on each side end the sensor. Quartz 3-component force links are constructed by installing a 3-component force ring sensor, under preload, between two mounting plates.

Dual-Mode Charge Amplifiers
-
Dual-mode charge amplifiers represent a versatile solution for both piezoelectric charge mode and ICP® sensors. Among the advanced features offered by models 443B01, 443B02 and 2775C are an ultra-low noise floor, sensor fault detection, overload detection, a built-in calibration reference signal, and an RS-232 port for seamless computer control. Notably, model 443B02 features a long discharge time constant selection, ideal for capturing quasi-static events lasting several seconds, a capability particularly beneficial for ballistics and ammunition testing applications. Model 2775C features AC, DC, and servo outputs.

High Temperature Charge Mode Accelerometers
-
Charge mode output accelerometers from PCB® use piezo-ceramic sensing elements that output an electrostatic charge signal proportional to the applied acceleration. These sensors can operate at extremely high temperatures because they do not contain the built-in signal conditioning electronics that limit the temperature range of ICP® accelerometers. Charge mode sensors are used in the testing of gas and steam turbines, jet engines, high power motors, exhaust systems and automobile engines where temperatures can range from 500° F (260° C) to 1200° F (649° C).
