Overview: The Endevco model 2221F is a piezoelectric
accelerometer designed for high-temperature vibration measurement on small structures. It is hermetically sealed, lightweight (11 gm), and operates without an external power source. The accelerometer uses Endevco’s Piezite® type P-8 crystal element in annular shear mode, ensuring stable output sensitivity over time.
Specifications: The accelerometer has a charge sensitivity of 10.0 pC/g (typical) and a minimum of 7.5 pC/g. It features a frequency response from 1 to 10,000 Hz (±5%) and a resonance frequency of 45 kHz. The temperature range is from -67°F to +500°F (-55°C to +260°C), and it is hermetically sealed to withstand extreme conditions.
Electrical Characteristics: The unit has an output polarity where acceleration directed into the base produces a positive output. It has a resistance of ≥10 GΩ and a capacitance of 900 pF. The signal return is connected to the case, which is isolated from the mounting surface.
Environmental Characteristics: The accelerometer can handle sinusoidal vibration limits of 1000 g pk and shock limits of 3000 g pk. It has a base strain sensitivity of 0.02 g pk/μ strain and a thermal transient sensitivity of 0.004 g pk/°F (0.007 g pk/°C).
Physical Characteristics: The device is made of stainless steel, weighs 11 gm (0.39 oz), and uses a coaxial connector with a 10-32 male thread. It can be mounted using an insulated screw assembly or adhesively if needed.
Calibration and Accessories: Calibration data traceable to NIST is provided. Accessories include a cable assembly, insulated mounting screw, Allen wrench, adhesive mounting adapter, and optional signal conditioners and charge converters.
Recommendations: Endevco recommends using
signal conditioner models 133, 2771C, 2775B, or the OASIS 2000 system for optimal performance. Regular calibration services are advised to maintain precision and accuracy.
Additional Notes: The low-end response depends on associated electronics, and short-duration shock pulses may cause linearity errors. Endevco reserves the right to modify specifications without notice to ensure product reliability.
