EGCS3 Triaxial High Sensitivity Heavy Duty Accelerometer

3-axial acceleration sensor in miniature design


About the EGCS3 Triaxial High Sensitivity Heavy Duty Accelerometer 

The Model EGCS3 triaxial accelerometer is available in ranges from ±2g through ±5000g. With over-range limit to ±10,000g and spring strain relief, this rugged device is ideal for offshore, downhole and shock testing applications. Its small size and screw mounting ensure ease of installation while its low power requirements and DC output facilitate integration into data acquisition and monitoring systems. The EGCS3 also features CE Conformance to EN 61010-1, EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-1.
