Kistler launches triaxial miniature sensor on the market

Winterthur – Kistler AG from Winterthur presents a new miniature IEPE acceleration sensor. It should lead to better measurement results in challenging environments such as automotive and aviation technology. Kistler thus offers a lightweight device for measuring ranges from an acceleration of 100 grams.

(CONNECT) Kistler Instrumente AG from Winterthur has developed the KiVibe Miniature three-axis miniature IEPE acceleration sensor. Its low weight, extremely small dimensions and a flexible, low-outgassing cable make it an ideal solution for use in the evaluation of high-frequency resonances, the company writes in a press release.

Kistler expects to be particularly successful in structural-dynamic tests in lightweight construction where space is at a premium. In the automotive and aviation industries, for example, a lot depends on structural dynamics. According to the press release, the device is equipped with a PiezoStar crystal, has low-noise cabling and thus covers measuring chains from an acceleration of 100 grams as "the lightest triaxial miniature IEPE accelerometer".

Thanks to the low outgassing properties of the accelerometer, cable and connector, the KiVibe Miniature is even suitable for vacuum and space tests. ce/heg
