PCB Piezotronics Introduces New Submersible Accelerometers

Watertight Integral Cable for Worry-Free Testing

Depew, New York, USA – March 19, 2009 – Piezotronics, Inc. introduces a sealed, watertight, integral cable assembly that ensures signal fidelity is not compromised due to liquid ingress. Available on many PCB® sensors, this alternative sealing technique is extremely valuable when used in gearboxes, transmissions, flow tubes and valves, sealed chemical reactors with mixers, and when measuring structural reactions to turbulence.

In many industries, a component or location that requires testing or monitoring may be splashed or submerged in water, oil, or other liquid rendering the test invalid and possibly even destroying the senor. While consideration must be given to the sensor housing material, accelerometers are devices that generate electrical signals. In order to prevent contamination and degradation of the measurement signal via the cable, it is imperative to protect the signal transmission path to make certain the liquid will not chemically compromise the seal; using a PCB sensor with the new watertight integral cable assembly virtually eliminates worry, downtime, and added expenses, allowing for continued, accurate measurements.

PCB Piezotronics, Inc. is a global leader in the design and manufacture of force, torque, load, strain, pressure, acoustic and vibration sensors, as well as the pioneer of ICP® technology.
