MECH. & ELECTRICALLY FILTERED SHOCK SENSOR

The Dytran 3099A Series measures high shock impact up to 60KG range and other high amplitude, short duration events. Its unique miniature design incorporates quartz sensing elements with a mechanical and electrical filter to ensure zero shift does not corrupt your SRS plot. Applications include metal–to–metal impact testing, far–field blast testing as well as nearfield explosive bolt & stage separation.

The sensor is packaged in a hermetically sealed lightweight titanium housing, for a total weight of 8 grams. Units are electrically case isolated to avoid ground loop interference and electrical noise. On–board miniature IC amplifiers convert the very high impedance voltage signals from the quartz crystals to a much lower impedance level which allows these instruments to drive long cables with negligible signal loss. Models feature a 1/4–28 integral mounting stud with a 10–32 plug for easy connection.
