Ultra-High Sensitivity Seismic Accelerometer

San Juan Capistrano, California, USA -Meggitt Sensing Systems, a Meggitt group division, has announced the new market introduction of the Wilcoxon Research Model 731A, an ultra-high sensitivity industrial seismic accelerometer designed for measuring both seismic and ultra-low level, low frequency vibration on structures and objects.

Offered with the industry's best noise performance of 0.5 Ојg rms and with a sensitivity of 10 V/g, the Wilcoxon Research Model 731A incorporates use of ultra low-noise electronics for clear signals at sub micro-g levels. The sensor is designed to reliably operate over a temperature range of -10 °C to +65 °C (+14 °F to +149 °F) and includes an integral low-pass filter to eliminate high frequencies and ensure greater measurement quality and reliability. These attributes also help the Model 731A to be low-frequency capable. Units include electrostatic discharge (ESD) and reverse wiring protection for added quality assurance.

The Model 731A is supplied with mounting stud and level 3 calibration data. Additional recommended accessories, sold separately, include the Model P31 power amplifier or Model PR710 10-channel rack mount power amplifier; Model TC2 triaxial mounting cube; and Model J9/J9T2A cable with R6-type mating connector. All are available through Meggitt Sensing Systems. The combined ultra-high sensitivity and low frequency measurement capabilities of the Wilcoxon Research Model 731A make it ideal for use in high-accuracy industrial manufacturing environments, as well as in floor isolation testing and photolithography applications. For detailed technical specifications, drawings or additional information about the Wilcoxon Research Model 731 or other products available from Meggitt Sensing Systems, visit www.meggittsensingsystems.com
