The Kistler 8793A500M10 PiezoSMART® accelerometer simultaneously measures vibration and shock in three, mutually perpendicular axes (x, y and z). The K-Shear quartz sensing elements contained within the accelerometer provide long term operational stability, a wide operating frequency range along with extremely low sensitivity to thermal transients and transverse acceleration. The 8793 can operate both as a standard low impedance, voltage mode accelerometer with a conventional analog output or in a digital "PiezoSMART® Sensor Mode" capable of providing pertinent information stored within its memory module. Since the design of the accelerometer confirms to a universal standard (IEEE P1451.4), any commercially manufactured TEDS Signal Conditioner, along with a host computer, will address and retrieve the stored information.

The light weight, low profile design of the 8793 is ideally suited for multi-channel modal applications where mass loading of the test structure is a concern. The smart sensor operating mode allows information regarding accelerometer location and position direction to be entered and accessed by a host signal/data acquisition processor. The stainless steel housing is welded to provide hermetic sealing for reliable operation in adverse environments.
