EGAXT Mini Critically Damped Accelerometer

Miniature acceleration sensor with an overload limit of 10000g


About the EGAXT Mini Critically Damped Accelerometer

The Model EGAXT miniature accelerometers combine a damping ratio of 0.7 (nominal) with built-in over-range stops that protect the unit against 10,000 g shocks. This is ideal for applications which may experience rough handling or in situations where the accelerometer must survive a high initial overload in order to make a low g measurement.

 

Key features EGAXT

  • Small size, low weight
  • Static and dynamic measurement
  • Frequency response from DC to 3000 Hz
  • 10000 g overrange protection

 

Applications EGAXT

  • Flight Test & Control
  • Launch vehicles
  • Robotics
  • Shock testing
