Product catalog summary
Overview: The Endevco models 6243M1 and 6243M2 are piezoelectric accelerometers designed for high-temperature environments, such as aircraft and gas turbines. They operate continuously at temperatures up to +1200˚F (+650˚C) and intermittently up to +1400˚F (+760˚C). Their compact size and lightweight design allow for easy installation in confined spaces.
Design and Features: Both models incorporate Meggitt’s MC2 shear mode crystal. The 6243M1 has its sensitive axis aligned with the mounting screw, while the 6243M2's axis is perpendicular. They feature an integral hardline cable, typically 120 inches long, and are hermetically sealed to prevent pyroelectric or thermal velocity spiking. The accelerometers are ground isolated and use a single bolt mount.
Performance Specifications: The accelerometers conform to ISA-RP-37.2 (1964) standards. Key specifications include a charge sensitivity of 5.5 pC/g with a tolerance of ±0.5 pC/g, a resonance frequency of 11 kHz, and a frequency response range of 1 to 6000 Hz. They maintain a temperature response of ±15% at +1200˚F and have a transverse sensitivity of ≤5%.
Electrical Characteristics: The output polarity is positive in the direction of the marked arrow. The resistance is ≥10 kΩ pin to pin and ≥500 kΩ pin to case at +1200˚F. The capacitance of the transducer is 50 pF, excluding the hardline cable.
Environmental and Physical Characteristics: The accelerometers can withstand temperatures from -65 to +1200˚F continuously and up to +1400˚F intermittently. They are hermetically sealed to resist humidity, have a sinusoidal vibration limit of 500 g, and a shock limit of 2000 g. The case is made of Inconel, and the hardline cable is triaxial with a minimum bend radius of 0.25 inches.
Accessories and Calibration: The accelerometers come with a mounting screw and optional cable assemblies and signal conditioners. Calibration data is provided, and Meggitt offers factory calibration services for maintaining precision and accuracy.
Contact Information: For further inquiries, contact Meggitt Sensing Systems at their Irvine, CA facility.

Aerospace Energy Measurement Piezoelectric accelerometer Model 6243M1/M2 Key features • +1200˚F (+650˚C) operation • Integral hardline cable • Hermetically sealed • No pyroelectric or thermal velocity spiking • Single bolt mount • Ground isolated Endevco model 6243M1 and 6243M2 piezoelectric accelerometers are designed specifically for use in extremely high temperature environments such as aircraft and ground-based gas turbines. These accelerometers are designed for continuous operation at +1200˚F (+650˚C) and intermittent operation (see note 5) up to +1400˚F (+760˚C). The small size and light weight of these accelerometers facilitate installation in cramped locations with minimal structural support. 6243M1 and 6243M2 incorporate Meggitt’s MC2 shear mode crystal. The 6243M1 has its sensitive axis located in line with the mounting screw. The 6243M2 has its sensitive axis located perpendicular to the mounting screw. The sensing elements and integral shield are isolated from the case. The accelerometer features an integral hardline cable of customer specified length, in which the standard length is 120 inches. The cable is triaxial with the termination of the signal positive and negative leads through a 10-32 coaxial receptacle. The connector is designed to operate in an environment up to +900˚F (+482˚C).

Aerospace Energy Measurement Piezoelectric accelerometer Model 6243M1/M2 Accessories Signal conditioner Notes 1. Frequency response is controlled by the resonance characteristics of the transducer. Estimated calibration errors are ±1.5% to 900 Hz and ±2.5% from 900 Hz to 5000 Hz. 2. Low-end response of the transducer is a function of its associated electronics. 3. The electrical resistance of piezoelectric materials decreases with an increase in temperature and can approach 10000Ω at +1200˚F (+650˚C). 4. Dash number “ZZZ” indicates the cable length in inches. See table below for tolerance on...
