C10B00

The C10B00 is a charge-mode (PE) uniaxial accelerometer built on a piezoelectric ceramic shear structure with a wide-bandwidth frequency response and a low sensitivity temperature response. With 1,000 pC/g charge sensitivity and a ±50 g range it is the most sensitive member of the family, with 1,000 pC/g and a ±50 g range for low-level vibration where a charge amplifier can be used. Typical uses include modal analysis on large structures, low-level vibration monitoring at high temperature, seismic-type and building measurements and laboratory reference work.

With no built-in electronics, the sensor works from −40 °C to +160 °C and pairs with any charge amplifier, which sets the low-frequency limit of the system. High-quality ceramics ensure long-term stability. The laser-welded HEX 26.1 × 24.8 mm stainless-steel housing is sealed to IP68 with a low-profile side M5 connector and an M5 stud thread on the base, with 10-32 connector and thread versions available.

Charge mode, +160 °C

No internal electronics means nothing to overheat: the C10B00 runs continuously at +160 °C and pairs with any charge amplifier or charge-input DAQ, with 2,300 pF capacitance and ≥ 10¹¹ Ω insulation resistance for a clean, stable charge signal.

Shear-mode piezoceramic

Shear structure with low base-strain and temperature sensitivity gives a ±5% response from 0.5 Hz to 1.5 kHz (±10% over 0.3 – 2k Hz) with resonance ≥ 8 kHz, 1% non-linearity and ≤ 5% transverse sensitivity.

Rugged stainless housing

Laser-welded HEX 26.1 × 24.8 mm stainless-steel housing sealed to IP68, weighing 137 g and rated to 200 g rms vibration and 600 g pk shock. Side connector with M5 or 10-32 options and an M5 × 4 stud mount at 3.0 N·m.
