• M4.5 and ¼–28, 4 pin connector options

• Hermetic, titanium construction

• Low base strain sensitivity

• Voltage output

• Ceramic shear sensing element

• TEDS option

• Water resistant IP68 (up to 10 bars) option available

• Conforming to ä

Description

Type 8763B… is an IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric)

triaxial accelerometer permitting vibration measurements in

three mutually perpendicular axes: x, y and z.

Type 8763B… uses Kistler shear element technology, assuring

high immunity to base strain. The welded titanium construction

provides a lightweight hermetic housing. The miniature 4 pin

ceramic insulated connector provides long-term stability over the

operating temperature range. An integral silicone cable variant

is available for application of underwater vibration testing

at up to 10 bars [150 psi]. In addition to adhesive mounting,

Type 8763B… has three 5–40 threaded holes for flexible stud

mounting on a test object, fully utilizing each mounting side

of the cube design. Additionally, three threaded holes provide

reliable mounting for calibration of each orthogonal axis. See

PiezoStar triaxial Type 8766A… for high temperature 165°C

[+330°F] and other frequency response options.

Application

Type 8763B… provides wide frequency response in each axis,

ideal for dynamic vibration measurements. It is well-suited for

lightweight structures. Kistler Type 1784B…K03 is a M4.5,

4 pin to 3x BNC breakout cable. In addition, the Kistler M4.5,

4 pin sensor connector can be adapted for use with traditional

¼–28, 4 pin compatible cables, using the Kistler Type 1784AK02

extension cable. Other ¼–28, 4 pin breakout cables include:

Type 1756C...K03/K04 and flexible Type 1734A…K03 cables.
