MODEL 8101 ACCELEROMETER
SPECIFICATIONS
Piezoelectric Linear Accelerometer
±40g & ±160g Dynamic Ranges
Wide Bandwidth to 6000Hz
Great Value, Low Cost
The Model 8101 is a low cost, plug & play accelerometer
designed for general purpose vibration measurements. The
accelerometer is available in ±40g or ±160g range and
provides a flat frequency response up to >6kHz. Featuring
stable piezo-ceramic crystals in shear mode, the
accelerometer incorporates full power and signal
conditioning and is offered in two measurement direction
options (X or Z axis).
