Expressly designed for commercial and military aircraft vibration monitoring, the Dytran model 3168F is a ring style IEPE piezoelectric accelerometer incorporating the use of high stability quartz shear technology.

The model 3168F is offered with a 10 mV/g sensitivity and features a miniature thru hole design, allowing the sensor to be turned 360° prior to securing for ease of sensor installation. Units are hermetically sealed for reliable operation in high humidity and dirty environments, as well as case isolated to avoid EMI/ground loop interference. Case ground isolation is achieved by internally isolating the accelerometer element, complete with Faraday shield, from the outer housing.

The Dytran model 3168F features an integral 4–foot molded Viton™ cable, terminating in twisted shielded pair flying leads. Custom lengths and connectors are also available; consult the factory for details.

Features:

  • Stainless steel, Hermetically sealed
  • Case isolated
  • 360° cable orientation
  • High frequency response
  • IEPE

Applications:

  • High frequency aircraft/airframe vibration measurements
  • Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS)
  • Rotor, Track and Balance (RTB)
  • Transmission vibration measurements
