B00Y46

The B00Y46 is a three-axis IEPE shock accelerometer built on a unique piezoelectric ceramic shear structure with a wide-band frequency response and a resonance above 70 kHz, which keeps zero shift to a minimum during severe impacts. With 0.25 mV/g sensitivity and a ±20,000 g range it is the highest-range model in the family, built for the most severe shock and pyroshock events. Typical uses include pyroshock and bursting tests, ballistic and explosive events, heavy-weight shock tables and high-energy impact testing.

A built-in low-impedance circuit gives low noise and a well-behaved sensitivity temperature response, and the laser-welded low-density titanium-alloy housing measures just 15 × 15 × 10 mm and weighs 8.5 g. Each axis has its own calibration hole, a ⌀4.1 mm center through-hole lets the sensor be bolted down at any orientation, and insulated mounting components ship as standard. Three M5 connectors bring out the X, Y and Z channels, with 10-32 connectors available as an option.

Built for shock

Shear-mode ceramics with a resonance ≥ 70 kHz and a ≤ 0.5 s discharge time constant capture fast transients cleanly, rated to 24,000 g pk shock with minimal zero shift. Non-linearity 3% per 10,000 g.

Three axes, one bolt

Simultaneous X, Y and Z measurement from a single 15 × 15 × 10 mm block with ≤ 5% transverse sensitivity. The center through-hole mounts at any angle, and per-axis calibration holes make verification straightforward.

Built-in IEPE electronics

Low-impedance circuit with 2–20 mA constant-current excitation and 8–12 V bias, spectral noise of 1,600 µg/√Hz at 100 Hz and 0.04 g rms broadband resolution. Drives long cables straight into any IEPE-compatible DAQ.
