Product R&D
The Model 8101 is a low cost, plug &
play accelerometer designed for general
purpose vibration measurements. The
accelerometer is available in ±40g or ±160g
range and provides a flat frequency
response up to >6kHz. Featuring stable
piezo-ceramic crystals in shear mode, the
accelerometer incorporates full power and
signal conditioning and is offered in two
measurement direction options (X or Z axis).
Direction of measurement must be specified at time of order.
