Endevco® Model 7290E Variable Capacitance Accelerometer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Endevco model 7290E Microtron accelerometer family is designed for measuring low-level accelerations in aerospace and automotive environments. It features variable capacitance microsensors, digital temperature compensation, and gas damping to withstand high shock and acceleration loads.
Specifications: The accelerometer offers a range of ±2 to ±150 g, with sensitivity varying from 1000 mV/g to 13.2 mV/g depending on the model. It has a frequency response range from 0 to 2000 Hz and can survive shocks up to 10,000 g. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°F to +250°F and is unaffected by humidity or altitude.
Power Options: Two power options are available: 'R' for 9.5 V to 18.0 V and 'U' for 12.5 V to 36 V. The accelerometer provides both differential and single-ended outputs.
Dynamic Characteristics: The accelerometer features a DC response, with a damping ratio that changes minimally with temperature. It has a mounted resonance frequency up to 6000 Hz and a non-linearity and hysteresis of ±0.20% FSO for most models.
Environmental and Physical Characteristics: The device is made from anodized aluminum alloy, weighs 10 grams without cable, and is epoxy sealed for environmental protection. It meets ESD sensitivity requirements and has a warm-up time of 15 ms.
Calibration and Accessories: Calibration data is traceable to the National Institute of Standards. Accessories include flat washers, cap screws, a hex key wrench, and an optional triaxial mounting block.
Notes: The document emphasizes the importance of factory calibration services for maintaining precision and accuracy. It also provides a model number definition and details on output and supply voltage options.

Endevco Model 7290E Variable capacitance accelerometer Features Description DC response Օ 2 to 150 g fuLL scale Motion, Low frequency, tilt Օ 10K g shock survivability Precision digital temperature compensation The Endevco® model 7290E Microtron® accelerometer family utilizes unique variable capacitance microsensors. The accelerometers are designed for measurement of relatively low level accelerations in aerospace and automotive environments. Typical applications require measurement of whole body motion immediately after the accelerometer is subjected to a shock motion, and in the presence of severe vibrational inputs. State-of-the-art digital temperature compensation electronics provide for precise compensation over a wide temperature range. Gas damping and internal overrange stops enable the anisotropically-etched silicon microsensors to withstand high shock and acceleration loads. The accelerometer is available with a choice of two power options. One option (R) allows for operation from 9.5 V to 18.0 V. The second option (U) allows for operation over a range of 12.5 V to 36 V. The 7290E provides both a differential and single ended output. The differential output has a range of ±2 V and is DC coupled. The single ended output is 0.5 V to 4.5 V with 2.5 V of bias voltage. Frequency response is controlled by the near-critically damped sensors. The use of gas damping results in very small thermally induced changes in frequency response.
