Low Temperature Coefficient Triaxial ICP® Accelerometers

For Powertrain Development and NVH Applications

Novi, Michigan, USA - May 18, 2009 – PCB Automotive Sensors – a division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., introduces a series of low temperature coefficient, triaxial ICP® accelerometers. PCB® Series 339A Triaxial ICP® accelerometers are designed with a low temperature coefficient, wide operating temperature range, and good broadband measurement resolution. With an operating temperature range from -65 to +325 °F (-54 to +163 °C) and a temperature coefficient of less than 0.0125% / °F (0.02% / °C) these sensors are ideal for powertrain testing, NVH, road load data acquisition, and durability testing in climatic chambers. Additionally, these sensors have a measurement range to 10 kHz and a built in low pass filter to alleviate the effects of high frequency overloads caused by metal-to-metal inputs commonly encountered in powertrain vibration testing. Sensors are available in both stud and adhesive mounting configurations.
