Miniature Design, Stud Mount
DC Response, Critically Damped
10,000 g Over-range Stops
Broad Temperature Range

The Model EGAS3 is a miniature, critically damped triaxial
accelerometer available in ranges from ±5g through±2500g. This rugged unit weighs less than 8 grams (withoutleads) and has an over-range limit of 10,000g's. Operatingfrom nominal 15Vdc excitation, the model EGAS3 features
a ½ active bridge that is suitable for shunt calibration. Withan operating temperature range of -40ºC to +120ºC, theEGAS3 is the unit of choice for measurement professionals
in the automotive, military, aerospace and transportationindustries.
