Chatsworth, CA – September 29, 2009 – Dytran Instruments, Inc. has just released a new miniature triaxial accelerometer designed for modal analysis testing. The 3273M2 features a robust, laser welded titanium design which includes ceramic sensing elements coupled to ultra low noise JFET electronics.

With a low end frequency response of ±15-10% down to 0.88 Hz, the 3273M2 accelerometer offers excellent phase response at low frequencies. It also features an excellent signal to noise ratio.

The 3273M2 accelerometer is available with a sensitivity of 100 mV/g. Featuring a hermetic seal, 10-32 mount and a single 4-pin connector, this triaxial IEPE accelerometer weighs 4 grams. Its titanium housing contributes to its lightweight, which provides for minimal mass loading of the accelerometer on the test article.

Model 3273M2 is unique in that the labels of the axes X, Y and Z are laser marked in a large font size on three orthogonal faces, which aids the user in orienting the sensor.

This unit is the newest model added to the 3273A series of accelerometers. The 3273A series consists of three other units, ranging in sensitivity (10 mV/g, 50 mV/g and 100 mV/g), and are available with an adhesive mount.

Designed for modal analysis applications, the 3273A series accelerometer are also ideal for the following applications: general triaxial vibration measurements, shaker control, Squeak & Rattle, and Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH).
