Meggitt Sensing Introduces Endevco Piezoresistive Accelerometers

By DE Editors

Meggitt Sensing Systems  has introduced the Endevco model 7264C series, a low-mass piezoresistive shock accelerometer family. Featuring a frequency response extending down to DC (steady state), the series is designed to measure the long duration transient shocks associated with automotive crash testing, anthropomorphic device testing (ATDs), aircraft and automotive seat belt testing and other legislative and safety applications in which minimal mass loading and a broad frequency response are absolute requirements.

The Endevco series meets both SAE J211 impact testing and SAE J2570 anthropomorphic testing standards, and features an advanced monolithic MEMS sensor design with integral mechanical stops for ruggedness,  stability and reliability, incorporating a full bridge circuit with fixed resistors for shunt calibration.

The series is available in two versions: a 2,000 g model, with minimum 300 mV full-scale output and a frequency response from 0 to 5,000 g;  and a 500 g model, with 200 mV minimum full-scale output and a frequency response from 0 to 3,000 g (plus or minus 500 g).
