Overview

The B01B08 is a miniature uniaxial IEPE shock accelerometer built on a unique piezoelectric ceramic shear structure with reduced base strain and transverse sensitivity, a wide-band frequency response and a resonance above 50 kHz. With 5 mV/g sensitivity and a ±1,000 g range it is the most sensitive model in the family, with the lowest noise floor for moderate shock and high-level vibration. Typical uses include drop and package testing, crash and impact testing, HALT/HASS and high-level vibration on small assemblies.

High-quality ceramics ensure long-term stability and the built-in low-impedance circuit keeps noise low. The HEX 11.1 × 14.6 mm high-strength stainless-steel housing is laser welded to IP68, weighs just 8 g, and carries an industry-standard M5 side connector and an M5 mounting thread at the base, with 10-32 connector and thread versions available.

Why engineers choose the B01B08

Built for shock

Shear-mode ceramics with a resonance ≥ 50 kHz and a ≤ 0.5 s discharge time constant capture fast transients cleanly, rated to 8,000 g pk shock. Reduced base strain and ≤ 5% transverse sensitivity keep the signal honest under severe impacts. Non-linearity 1%.

Built-in IEPE electronics

Low-impedance circuit with 2–20 mA constant-current excitation and 8–12 V bias, spectral noise of 80 µg/√Hz at 100 Hz and 0.002 g rms broadband resolution. Drives long cables straight into any IEPE-compatible DAQ.

Rugged stainless housing

Laser-welded HEX 11.1 × 14.6 mm high-strength stainless-steel housing sealed to IP68, weighing 8 g and rated to 3,000 g rms continuous vibration. Low-profile side connector with M5 or 10-32 options.

Typical applications

  • Drop testing
  • Blast and pyroshock testing
  • Crash and impact testing
  • Package and product qualification
  • Munitions and ordnance testing
  • Low-clearance installations where a side cable exit helps
