Overview
The C01B00 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 3 pC/g charge sensitivity and a ±3,500 g range it is the miniature, highest-range member of the family, with a ±3,500 g range, 12 kHz bandwidth and a 3 g titanium housing for shock and high-frequency work on small hot parts. Typical uses include high-frequency and shock measurement at high temperature, small-component and PCB testing, turbocharger and exhaust vibration and lightweight structures where mass loading matters.
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 8.6 × 10.75 mm titanium-alloy housing weighs 4 g and is sealed to IP68, with an M3 side connector and an M3 × 2.3 stud thread on the base.
Why engineers choose the C01B00
Charge mode, +160 °C
No internal electronics means nothing to overheat: the C01B00 runs continuously at +160 °C and pairs with any charge amplifier or charge-input DAQ, with 350 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 12 kHz (±10% over 0.3 – 15k Hz) with resonance ≥ 50 kHz, 1% non-linearity and ≤ 5% transverse sensitivity.
Miniature titanium housing
Laser-welded HEX 8.6 × 10.75 mm titanium-alloy housing sealed to IP68, weighing just 4 g and rated to 4,000 g rms vibration and 6,000 g pk shock. Side connector and an M3 × 2.3 stud mount at 0.6 N·m. Low mass for small parts and light structures.
