HF Series (For Vibration & Shock Measurements)

The HF accelerometers are single axis and tri-axial vibrations sensors based on an advanced piezoelectric material integrated with signal conditioning amplifier and regulation electronics. The sensor features low-noise (300uG rms), and wide bandwidth (0.3-10,000Hz). These sensors are easy to use and install without the need for an external amplifier. Plastic (nylon) and metal housings are available. The metal housing is recommended for applications requiring very high frequency response.
