Acceleration Transducers

KYOWA's strain gage acceleration transducers convert the acceleration of running vehicle or the vibration of car body or machinery into minute voltage to enable accurate measurement of acceleration or vibration with various measuring instruments. Each model is compact and lightweight, and ensures superior static and dynamic characteristics. Various rated capacities cover a wide scope of applications. In addition, triaxial models are available for simultaneous detection of accelerations in three directions: X, Y and Z. Important Notice Unless specified, strain-gage transducers must not be used under hydrogen environment.

Features

Principle of Acceleration Transducers

With the basic configuration shown below, acceleration initiates inertia force to the weight and deforms the leaf spring. The strain gage adhered to the leaf spring detects the displacement of the leaf spring as a strain quantity proportional to the acceleration. The strain gage signal is amplified to enable acceleration measurement. An advantageous feature of this configuration is to enable the transducer to respond to static acceleration at DC.
