Description

The CEC 4-202 Strain Gage Accelerometer is a compact, temperature-compensated device designed for measuring static or dynamic accelerations perpendicular to the mounting surface. It is one of the smallest accelerometers available, with dimensions of approximately 1 inch cubed and a weight of 3 ounces. The device is available in ranges from ±5 g to ±500 g and operates within a temperature range of -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C). It features a linear unbonded strain gage with four active arm, spring-type sensing elements, and mechanical stops to prevent damage from overacceleration.

Performance Specifications
  • Input: Acceleration ranges from ±5 g to ±500 g, with static overacceleration limits and natural frequencies specified for each range.
  • Output: Full range output of 40 mV with a typical frequency response of ±5% from 0 Hz to 1/3 natural frequency. Linearity and hysteresis effects do not exceed ±0.75% of full range output.
Environmental Specifications
  • Compensated temperature range: -65°F to 250°F (-54°C to +121°C)
  • Operable temperature range: -70°F to +300°F (-57°C to +149°C)
  • Vibration and shock resistance: Performs within specifications after exposure to specified vibration and shock conditions.
  • Humidity: Operates satisfactorily after exposure to humidity tests as per MIL-E-5272, Procedure 1, Rev.C.
Physical Specifications
  • Weight: Less than 3.0 ounces, excluding cable
  • Finish: Clear anodized
  • Electrical connection: Two feet of shielded 4-conductor cable

Strain Gage Accelerometer-1

Strain Gage Accelerometer Applications • Aircraft Flight Test • Missile/Rocket Test • Suspension Test • Deceleration/Brake Test Features • Operates from ±5 g to ±500 g • Wide temperature range • Low cross axis sensitivity Description Performance characteristics of the CEC 4202 Strain Gage Accelerometer are distinctly superior to any comparable instrument available today. It is one of the smallest temperature compensated strain gage accelerometers on the market. External dimensions are approximately 1 inch cubed, and the weight is 3 ounces. Designed for measuring static or dynamic accelerations perpendicular to the mounting surface, the 4-202 is available in ranges from ±5 g to ±500 g. Operable temperature range is -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C). Combined linearity and hysteresis is conservatively rated at less than ±0.75% of full range output. The 4-202 is a linear unbonded strain gage bi-directional accelerometer with four active arm, spring-type sensing elements. Allowable overacceleration (up to 20 times rated range) is achieved by incorporating mechanical stops on the instrument.
