Description
Internal of the 8762A… accelerometer is a unique annular, shear
sensor element that features extremely low thermal transient
response, a high immunity to base strain and transverse acceleration.
An advanced hybrid charge amplifier design provides outstanding
phase response as well as a wide operating frequency
range. The light weight aluminum housing is epoxy sealed and
hard anodized coated to provide ground isolation.
Each of the three sensing elements is internally connected to a
microelectronic circuit that converts the charge from the ceramic
piezoelectric elements into a useable high level voltage signal at
a low impedance output. The 8762A… accelerometer series will
operate directly from the internal power source found in most
FFT analyzers; from several Kistler Piezotron® power supply couplers
or any industry standard IEPE (Integrated Electronic Piezo-
Electric) compatible power source.

Application
The lightweight 8762A… triaxial accelerometer series, is highly
desirable for measurement applications on light weight structures
where mass loading must be kept to a minimum. The accelerometers
are highly suited for multi-channel measurements; modal
analysis measurements on automotive bodies and aircraft structures;
general vibration measurements.
