A/163, A/163-1

Developed for demanding applications requiring the measurement of high amplitude and short duration transient events such as pyrotechnic shock or high energy impacts, the A/163 IEPE accelerometer has a range of ±50,000g and a sensitivity of 0.1mV/g (±10%).

The design of our more standard accelerometers have limitations when used for shock applications, these can either be due to the short duration of the transient event or due to the high level of the shock amplitude, either of these elements can cause issues for a standard vibration sensor and the hybrid electronics used in the IEPE accelerometers.

To overcome these issues the A/163 has in built filters; both electrical and mechanical which ensure the response is linear across a wide frequency band (1Hz to 15kHz), and up to a peak amplitude measurement of 50,000g.
