C06A02

The C06A02 is a charge-mode (PE) uniaxial environmental test accelerometer built on a piezoelectric ceramic shear structure with a wide-bandwidth frequency response and a low sensitivity temperature response. With 100 pC/g charge sensitivity and a ±200 g range it is the most sensitive member of the family, with 100 pC/g and a ±200 g range for low-level vibration and modal work. Typical uses include modal analysis on large structures, low-level vibration control, structural and machinery monitoring and long-duration environmental qualification at temperature extremes.

With no built-in electronics the sensor works from −70 °C to +160 °C and pairs with any charge amplifier or charge-input controller, which sets the low-frequency limit of the system. High-quality ceramics ensure long-term stability through repeated thermal cycling. The laser-welded stainless-steel HEX 16.1 × 28.1 mm housing weighs 40 g, is sealed to IP68, screws down on an M5 (10-32 opt.) stud and carries a top M5 (10-32 opt.) connector.

−70 to +160 °C, charge output

No internal electronics means nothing to freeze or overheat: the C06A02 runs continuously anywhere from −70 °C to +160 °C with a low sensitivity temperature response, and pairs with any charge amplifier or charge-input DAQ, with 2,000 pF capacitance and ≥ 10¹¹ Ω insulation resistance.

Wide, flat bandwidth

Shear-mode ceramics give a ±5% response from 0.5 Hz to 4.5 kHz (±10% over 0.3 – 6k Hz) with resonance ≥ 22 kHz, 1% non-linearity and ≤ 5% transverse sensitivity, rated to 800 g rms vibration and 1,500 g pk shock.

Rugged stainless housing

Laser-welded stainless-steel HEX 16.1 × 28.1 mm housing sealed to IP68 and weighing 40 g. M5 × 3.7 (10-32 opt.) mounting stud torqued to 3.0 N·m, with a top M5 (10-32 opt.) connector for a straight cable exit.
