B06B04

The B06B04 is a reference-grade uniaxial IEPE accelerometer built on a piezoelectric ceramic shear sensing element with a wide-bandwidth frequency response, low transverse sensitivity and low thermal transient response, with the excellent year-to-year stability needed of a calibration transfer standard. With 100 mV/g sensitivity and a ±50 g range it is the dual-head M6 back-to-back standard in the family, with a ±2% response from 1 Hz to 10 kHz for the tightest comparison calibrations. Typical uses include back-to-back comparison calibration of accelerometers to the tightest tolerances, calibration transfer standard work, shaker and calibration-system verification and standard bench tests.

The back-to-back design carries an M6 mounting thread on both the upper and lower faces, so the sensor under test bolts directly onto the reference on the shaker and both see the same motion. The built-in high-temperature-rated low-impedance circuit gives low output noise and stable sensitivity over temperature from any 2–20 mA IEPE source. The laser-welded stainless-steel HEX 30.1 × 37 mm housing weighs 187.4 g, is sealed to IP68 and carries a side M5 (10-32 opt.) connector. TEDS is available to order.

Built as a reference

Shear sensing element with ≤ 5% transverse sensitivity, 1% non-linearity and excellent annual stability, so the reference adds as little uncertainty as possible to a comparison calibration. ±2% response from 1 Hz to 10 kHz (±5% over 0.5 – 11k Hz) with resonance ≥ 23 kHz.

Back-to-back mounting

M6 thread on the base for the shaker and the same thread on top for the sensor under test, so reference and test sensor are rigidly coupled and move together well beyond the calibration band. Side M5 (10-32 opt.) connector keeps the cable clear of the stack.

Low noise, stable over temperature

Built-in high-temperature-rated IEPE circuit with 2–20 mA excitation and 8–12 V bias, spectral noise of 4 µg/√Hz at 100 Hz and 0.0001 g rms broadband resolution, rated to 400 g rms vibration and 1,000 g pk shock, −40 to +120 °C.
