Model 633A01 is a high-resolution, broad-frequency piezoelectric accelerometer with integrated internal digital data processing for USB plug-and-play capability as well as easy data collection and sharing. The product features a wide frequency range (1.5-11,000 Hz…

PCB Piezotronics Inc. announces the launch of its University Laboratory Programs. These Programs provide significant cost savings for acoustics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics curricula that incorporate hands-on student labs. Each program bundles sensors and accessories, laboratory experiments, classroom lecture, and technical poster for use in academic classrooms and laboratories. With a history of […]

PCB’s two new triaxial ICP accelerometer models 354A04 and 354A05 are case isolated to help ensure measurement accuracy in the presence of electrical noise sources such as EMI and ground loops. These accelerometers are rugged, with durable, titanium housings. The case isolated design eliminates the need for special isolation bases, coatings and insulated mounting screws. […]

In this video, Design World’s Editorial Director Paul J. Heney and Senior Editor Miles Budimir discuss PCB Piezotronics’ family of shear accelerometers—which are packaged in 0.4-in. titanium cubes and weigh a mere 015 ounces. They can be used for modal and structural analysis, NVH studies on automotive parts, space restricted installations, drop testing and package […]
