MODEL EGCS3-D TRIAXIALACCELEROMETERSPECIFICATIONSDIMENSIONS

Triaxial, DC Response
10,000 g Overrange Stops±5g to ±5000g Dynamic Range
Critically Damped

The Model EGCS3-D triaxial accelerometer is available inranges from ±5g through ±5000g. With over-range limit to±10,000g and spring strain relief, this rugged device is idealfor offshore, downhole and shock testing applications. Its
small size and screw mounting ensure ease of installation
while its low power requirements and DC output facilitate
integration into data acquisition and monitoring systems.
The EGCS3 also features CE Conformance to EN 61010-1,EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-1.
