EGAS Mini Critically Damped Accelerometer

Well-suited for on-site testing as well as laboratory use


About the EGAS Mini Critically Damped Accelerometer

The Model EGAS is a miniature, uni-axial accelerometer featuring ranges from ±5 g through ±2500 g. This rugged unit weights less than 1 gram (without leads) and has an over-range limit of 10000g's. The 1/2 active bridge is suitable for shunt calibration. With an operating temperature range of -40 ºC to +120 ºC, the EGAS is the unit of choice for measurement professionals in the automotive, military, aerospace and transportation industries. Its combined nonlinearity and hysteresis of ±1 % makes the EGAS well-suited for on-site testing as well as laboratory use.

Key features EGAS

  • Weighs < 1 gram
  • Static and dynamic measurement
  • Frequency response through 3500 Hz
  • 2 % Transverse sensitivity
