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
