General Purpose
-
Columbia Research Laboratories
This group of accelerometers is made up of the 3000 and 5000 Series. The 3000 Series are standard size units, including many with all welded construction, that are hermetically sealed for use in dirty and humid environments. The 5000 Series are smaller and lighter in weight than standard units. Characteristics are almost identical except that with miniature units higher natural frequencies and shock levels can be obtained due to their inherently reduced mass. Sensitivities, however are somewhat lower. High Temperature models are available that operate to +500°F. For best performance use with the Columbia Model 4601 Charge Amplifier or Model 5810 Inline Charge Converter.

Accelerometers
-
Columbia Research Laboratories
The force balance accelerometer has a classical critically-damped, second-order frequency response. There is no peaking in the response but simply a smooth roll-off above the natural frequency. This property along with the excellent characteristics of the "HP" torquer design makes Columbia accelerometers the best choice for demanding applications where precise DC and near-DC measurements are needed in demanding shock and wide band vibration environments. Columbia force balance accelerometers are available to cover virtually all applications. Low noise, high output units can be used for seismic structure motion studies while miniature, high range versions are optimum for measuring more violent high G environments encountered in many industrial, aircraft and missile applications.

Miniature
-
Columbia Research Laboratories
This group is made up of the 6000 and 7000 Series Accelerometers. The 6000 Series offers detachable cables and connector assemblies, a special inverted seismic element for mechanical isolation and other features normally available only on standard size sensors. The 7000 Series are true "shear-mode" design accelerometers which offer performance characteristics and accuracies normally only available with standard size accelerometers. High temperature models of these series are available and will operate to +500°F. For best performance use with Columbia Model 4601 Charge Amplifier or Model 5810 Inline Charge Converter.
