786-500

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications for the Wilcoxon Research model 786-500, a general-purpose low-frequency accelerometer. It includes details on dynamic performance, electrical requirements, environmental conditions, physical characteristics, and features and benefits.
Specifications:
  • Dynamic: Sensitivity is 500 mV/g with an acceleration range of 10 g peak. Frequency response varies from 0.7 Hz to 14,000 Hz depending on the tolerance level. Resonance frequency is 30 kHz, and transverse sensitivity is a maximum of 5% of axial.
  • Electrical: Requires a voltage source of 18-30 VDC and a current regulating diode of 2-10 mA. Electrical noise is specified at various frequencies, with a maximum output impedance of 100 Ω and a bias output voltage of 12 VDC.
  • Environmental: Operates within a temperature range of -50 to 120°C, with vibration and shock limits of 500 g peak and 5,000 g peak, respectively. It is hermetically sealed and has a base strain sensitivity of 0.0002 g/µstrain.
  • Physical: The sensing element design is PZT, shear, with a weight of 90 g. The case is made of 316L stainless steel, and it mounts via a 1/4-28 UNF tapped hole. The mating connector is R6 type, with recommended cabling of J10 / J9T2A.
Features and Benefits:
  • Rugged design with high sensitivity and hermetic seal.
  • ESD and reverse wiring protection.
  • Clear signals at low vibration levels and extended low-end frequency response.
  • Improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to other general-purpose accelerometers.
  • Capable of detecting both low and high-speed vibrations, optimized for slow-turning machinery.
Connections: The device uses a MIL-C-5015 2-pin connector with specific pin functions for ground, power/signal, and common.
Additional Information: The document notes that specifications are subject to change due to ongoing research and development. Contact information for Meggitt Sensing Systems is provided for further inquiries.
