Miniature TEDS Accelerometers for Multi-Channel Modal Testing
|
January 15, 2012, Novi, Michigan, USA –
Kistler North America has introduced a new family of single axis and
triaxial lightweight, miniature PiezoBeam® IEPE accelerometers with
optional TEDS, designed for the multi-channel modal and structural
analysis of small or thin-walled structures, components and subsystems,
as well as full vehicle testing within automotive, aerospace, commercial
aviation and general laboratory testing environments. The single axis
Kistler Type 8640A is the company’s dimensionally smallest, lowest mass
PiezoBeam® IEPE accelerometer model, weighing just 3.5 grams. Offered in
ranges of ±5 g, ±10 g and ±50 g with sensitivities from 1000 mV/g to 100
mV/g, the sensor’s ceramic cantilever beam sensing element is thermally
compensated using patented methods that allow it to emit an electrical
charge proportional to vibration

Handheld VSA-3300 Vibration Spectrum Analyzers
|
Datastick Systems, Inc. has announced four new rugged VSA-3300
models in its line of affordable, handheld VSA Vibration Spectrum
Analyzers, which are used to detect and diagnose problems in rotating
and reciprocating machinery before unpredicted breakdowns occur, thus
saving money and downtime. New version 2.0 of Datastick Spectrum
software for the handheld computer was also announced. The new models
build on the proven track record of the VSA-1200 analyzers used by
reliability, equipment maintenance and facilities managers in predictive
maintenance, conditions-based monitoring, troubleshooting, and
diagnosing the root causes of equipment failures. The new rugged
VSA-3300s utilize the IP-67-rated Meazura MEZ-1500 handheld computer, so
that an external rugged case is no longer required for environments
where there is dust or moisture. With the new VSA-3300s, both the
handheld computer and the VSA module are ruggedized
