In-line charge-to-voltage converter

John Morris Scientific is pleased to announce the new Kistler in-line charge to voltage converter, ideal for low-level vibration measurements and high temperature use

John Morris Scientific is pleased to announce the new Kistler In-Line Charge to Voltage Converter.

This instrument compliments the high temperature ceramic accelerometers, such as the 8202A10, 8203A50 and 8290A25M5, as well as standard temperature accelerometers, including the 8274A5 and 8276A5.

The 5050A contain miniature charge amplifiers that convert the charge signal from high impedance piezoelectric accelerometers, into a high-level voltage signal, with a low impedance output.

It is available in three fixed gain settings of 0.1, 1 and 10 mV/pC, and with a frequency response of 1 Hz to 20 kHz.

Any Kistler power supply couplers, or any industry standard IEPE (Integrated Electronic Piezo Electric) compatible power source will power the modules.

The 5050A charge to voltage converter connects directly between the accelerometers and the power supply coupler.

The single axis accelerometers, 8202A10 and 8203A50, and the tri-axial accelerometer 8290A25M5, are high impedance charge mode sensors - designed for vibration measurements of up to 250C.

In addition, standard temperature high impedance accelerometers, including the 8274A5 and 8276A5, operate up to 165C.

The ceramic shear-sensing element produces a significant charge output - making them ideal for low-level vibration measurements.

The Kistler shear element technology assures high immunity to base strain, thermal transients and transverse accelerations.

The hermetically-sealed lightweight housing with the unique ceramic insulated connector, is designed for long-term stability, even under high temperature conditions.

The Kistler accelerometer and in-line charge-to-voltage converter system provides a less expensive, alternative solution to conventional laboratory vibration charge amplifiers.
