Kistler Group Cryo Temperature Accelerometer 8712B5D0CB

Utilizing Kistler’s exclusive PiezoStar ® element and K-Shear ® design, the accelerometer exhibits very low sensitivity to base strain, thermal changes and transverse acceleration. The unique PiezoStar sensing elements afford the ultimate in long-term stability, which ensures repeatable and accurate measurements for many years. In addition to the PiezoStar shear elements contained within the housing, a Piezotron ® micro-electronic circuit converts the high impedance charge signal emanating from a pair of elements into a voltage signal. The low impedance volt age output minimizes noise pick-up and eliminates the need for highly insulated low noise cables. This low temperature variant using a specific Piezotron allows sensor usage down to cryogenic temperatures (–196 °C [–320 °F])
