New High Sensitivity Triaxial Piezoresistive Accelerometer for Mid-Range Shock Measurements

Endevco Model 74 is now available in 2K g version with 600mV full scale output

June 20, 2023 - Depew, NY - PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) is introducing our new Endevco Model 74-2K triaxial piezoresistive accelerometer. It is an extension of our Endevco Model 74 line, which already includes 74-20K and 74-60K

The Endevco Model 74 Triaxial Piezoresistive Accelerometer has gas damping internal to the MEMS sensing element to attenuate resonance in a shock environment and provide exceptional 3 times full scale range shock survivability. It has been available in 20, 000 and 60,000 g ranges and is now available in 2,000 g for mid-range measurements.

Endevco Model 74-2K features: 

• Integral ESD protection (Class 3B; >8000V) prevents handling damage 
• Leadless chip carrier (LCC) weighing just 1.2 grams
• Low power consumption suitable for operation on battery power 
• Mounting by Surface Mount Technology (SMT) or adhesive 
• DC response with very minimal zero shift

The 74-2K accelerometer is ideal for high shock data recorders, heavy transport shock, automotive test dummy data recorders, and weapons testing.
