EGCS-A2 | EGCS-B2 Critically Damped Accelerometer

Ideal for low frequency measurements


About the EGCS-A2 | EGCS-B2 Critically Damped Accelerometer

The Models EGCS-A2 and -B2 accelerometers are critically damped with built-in over-range stops that are set to protect the unit against 10000 g shocks. The accelerometers incorporate signal conditioning with optional ±5 VDC or ±2.5 VDC amplified full-scale output and are offered in ranges from ±5 g to ±5000 g. The accelerometers are ideal for low frequency measurements and feature temperature compensation from +20 … +80 ºC.
