This device is a low power dual axis accelerometer with voltage outputs. It can measure accelerations in two axes, up to ±2g. It can measure both dynamic acceleration and static acceleration (gravity). By means of the Accelerometer TP-ACC20 and a TiePie oscilloscope also speed and displacement can be measured.
The manual external trigger button can be used to trigger measurements in situations where no trigger condition can be derived from the input signals.
Acceleration measurement is used in many branches of the industry, to check and avoid vibration in mechanical systems or to track moving objects.
To measure acceleration, several different sensors are available, which convert acceleration into an electrical signal, which can be measured with a standard measuring instrument.
The Accelerometer TP-ACC20 is available in 2 models with different connectors, a 25 pin and a 9 pin D-sub connector. (Please select when ordering!)
The acceleration sensor of the Accelerometer TP-ACC20 is placed in a small package with a long, thin flexible cable. The package contains strong magnets to attach the sensor to magnetic (steel) surfaces without the need of screws or clamps. One side of the package contains a patch of velcro, to attach the sensor to fabric surfaces.
The Accelerometer TP-ACC20 also contains a manual, external trigger button. This button can be used to manually trigger measurements in situations where no trigger condition can be derived from the input signals. The manual external trigger button has a solid aluminum body and is fitted with a female BNC connector. A long flexible cable with a male BNC connector is used to connect the button to the instrument.
