A variety of IEPE accelerometers are available from Durham Instruments. These devices are used in many applications to measure the acceleration of a mass, specifically sensing larger vibrations and shocks.
IEPE accelerometer basics
IEPE stands for Internal Electronics PiezoElectric. IEPE accelerometers use piezoelectric material to measure proper acceleration (also known as g-force acceleration). They incorporate electronics that act as a “pre-amplifier” to transform the piezoelectric signal to a low impedance signal.
The type of acceleration measured by accelerometers is quite different from the co-ordinate acceleration that is familiar to most people. Proper acceleration is the acceleration of a mass associated with its weight at rest in the frame of reference of the accelerometer.
Wide selection
Durham Instruments can offer many different models of accelerometers. Its lineup of IEPE accelerometers includes:
Manufacturer’s expertise
These accelerometers are made by Measurement Specialties, an international manufacturer of sensors and sensor-based systems. The company is dedicated to providing products that are effective, reliable and high quality.
