Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Endevco model 2226C is a miniature piezoelectric accelerometer designed for vibration measurement on small structures. It features a top-mounted 10-32 receptacle for easy installation in limited spaces and weighs 2.8 grams to minimize mass loading. The accelerometer is self-generating and does not require an external power source.
Key Features: The model 2226C uses Endevco’s Piezite® type P-8 crystal element in annular shear mode, providing stable output sensitivity over time. It includes a low-noise, flexible coaxial cable for reliable operation. The device is suitable for small package testing and general adhesive mount applications. It can operate at high temperatures up to +177°C and is designed for adhesive mounting.
Specifications: The accelerometer has a charge sensitivity of 2.8 pC/g (typical) and a resonance frequency of 21 kHz. It has a frequency response of ±5% from 1 to 5000 Hz and ±1 dB from 0.1 to 7000 Hz. The temperature range is -67°F to +350°F (-55°C to +177°C), and it is epoxy sealed for humidity resistance. The device can withstand sinusoidal vibrations up to 1000 g pk and shock limits up to 2000 g pk.
Electrical Characteristics: The accelerometer has an output polarity where acceleration directed into the base produces a positive output. It has a resistance of ≥10 GΩ at room temperature and ≥5 GΩ at +350°F. The capacitance is 400 pF, and the signal return is connected to the case.
Environmental and Physical Characteristics: The accelerometer is made of stainless steel with a nickel alloy sensor. It has a coaxial connector with a 10-32 thread and is designed for adhesive mounting on flat surfaces. The weight is 2.8 grams (0.10 oz).
Calibration and Accessories: Calibration data traceable to NIST is supplied. Accessories include a cable assembly, adhesive mounting kit, and various signal conditioners. Adhesives like petro-wax and cyanoacrylate epoxy can be used for mounting, and removal should be done carefully to avoid damage.
Recommendations: Use Endevco signal conditioners for optimal performance. Maintain precision with Endevco’s calibration services. For mounting, use appropriate adhesives and follow removal procedures to prevent damage.
