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

The Model EGAS is a miniature, uniaxial accelerometerfeaturing ranges from ±5g through ±2500g. This rugged unit
weighs less than 1 gram (without leads) and has an overrange limit of 10,000g's. The ½ active bridge is suitable forshunt calibration. With an operating temperature range of 40ºC to +120ºC, the EGAS is the unit of choice formeasurement professionals in the automotive, military,
aerospace and transportation industries. Its combined
nonlinearity and hysteresis of ±1% makes the EGAS wellsuited for on-site testing as well as laboratory use.
