Model 2229C Piezoelectric accelerometer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Endevco model 2229C is a miniature piezoelectric accelerometer designed for vibration measurement on small structures. It features a top-mounted 10-32 receptacle for easy installation in tight spaces and weighs 4.9 grams to minimize mass loading. The accelerometer is self-generating and requires no external power.
Features: The model 2229C uses Endevco’s Piezite type P-8 crystal element in annular shear mode, providing stable output sensitivity over time. It includes a low-noise coaxial cable for error-free operation and is ground isolated from the mounting surface.
Recommended Equipment: Compatible signal conditioners include models 133, 2771C, 2775B, or the Oasis 2000 system.
Specifications:
  • Dynamic Characteristics: Charge sensitivity is typically 2.8 pC/g, with a minimum of 2.2 pC/g. The resonance frequency is 21 kHz, and the amplitude response is ±5% from 1 to 5000 Hz.
  • Electrical Characteristics: Output polarity is positive with acceleration into the base. Resistance is ≥ 10 GΩ, and capacitance is 400 pF.
  • Environmental Characteristics: Operates in temperatures from -67˚F to +350˚F (-55˚C to +177˚C) and is epoxy sealed for humidity resistance.
  • Physical Characteristics: Made of stainless steel, it weighs 0.17 oz (4.9 gm) and uses a coaxial 10-32 thread connector.
Calibration: Calibration data traceable to NIST is supplied, covering charge sensitivity, capacitance, and frequency response.
Notes: The transducer's low-end response depends on associated electronics. Short duration shock pulses may cause linearity errors. Use flexible cables to minimize errors, and consider Meggitt’s calibration services for precision.
Accessories: Includes a 10 ft cable assembly (3060D-120). Optional accessories include in-line charge connectors and signal conditioners.

Model 2229C Piezoelectric accelerometer-1

Model 2229C Piezoelectric accelerometer Features • Ground isolated • Top connector • Stud mounted • Requires no external power • Vibration measurement on small structures The Endevco® model 2229C is a miniature, stud mounted piezoelectric accelerometer designed specifically for vibration measurement on small structures and objects. The transducer features a top-mounted 10-32 receptacle for installation convenience in tight space. Its light weight (4.9 gm) effectively minimizes mass loading. The accelerometer is a self-generating device that requires no external power source for operation. The model 2229C features Endevco’s Piezite® type P-8 crystal element, operating in annular shear mode. This device exhibits excellent output sensitivity stability over time. Signal ground is isolated from the mounting surface of the unit. A low-noise, flexible, coaxial cable is supplied for error-free operation. Endevco signal conditioner models 133, 2771C, 2775B or Oasis 2000 computercontrolled system are recommended for use with this high impedance accelerometer.
