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.

Angular Accelerometers
Columbia Research Laboratories
Columbia Research Labs offers Angular Accelerometers that use the fluid rotor concept of sensing angular acceleration resulting in a highly accurate precision Angular Accelerometer that provide excellent bias stability and rejection of linear acceleration. We also offer smaller electrically damped Angular Accelerometers that provide exceptional high frequency characteristics for an angular acceleration within its range of sensitivity. Lastly we offer a Variable Range Angular Accelerometer allowing the customer to change the measurement range of the sensor to meet their requirements.

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...show more -

Dynamic High Pressure Sensors
Columbia Research Laboratories
Columbia's line of Dynamic Pressure Sensors can also serve as Acoustic Sensors (Microphones). They are designed to measure fast pressure variations, surges and dynamic blasts. The Sensors vary from low cost, small size, and lightweight to High Pressure (to 10,000psi) units, with all-welded contructions for extreme ruggedness, making them excellent choices for a wide range of applications.

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.

Inclinometer Systems
Columbia Research Laboratories
Columbia Research Labs offers our standard Inclinometer System and our Differential Inclinometer System. The standard system includes a temperature compensated force balance inclinometer in conjunction with a power module and convenient digital display. It is available with either AC or DC Power supply input. The Differential System allows the customer to match the slope of two remotely located surfaces. The readout can be set to indicate the absolute tilt of either sensor or the differential angle between them.
