New high sensitivity, gas damped shock accelerometer
The Californer/10031517

IRVINE, Calif. - May 15, 2019 - Californer -- Meggitt, a leader in sensors for extreme environments, has added a new 2,000g range to the Endevco model 7280A and 7280AM7 piezoresistive accelerometers, used for the development and testing of weapons, military vehicles and railcars. The 7280A family is known for exceptional survivability with all sensors rated to survive 4X their rated range.

The new high sensitivity 2k g range is 600mV full scale and gives users a sensor with excellent signal-to-noise ratio and a balanced full-bridge MEMS with low drift and noise characteristics. The 7280AM7 adds a specialized cable with graphite insulated conductors to minimize shock-induced response and a reinforced cable-to-case connection for superior survivability in high g environments.

Key features include:
• 600mV full scale output
• Shock insensitive cable (M7 version)
