Simple sensitivity calibration device for accelerometers
VX-1100A

Piezoelectric Accelerometer is widely used for vibration measurement. To obtain accurate measurement data, it is necessary to check the sensor's operation (sensitivity) before use.

The VX-1100A is a sensitivity calibration device for piezoelectric Accelerometer. It includes a vibration generator, sensor amplifier, and display, and by directly inputting sensor output into the device, you can read the sensitivity directly.

Additionally, the VX-1100A excites the pickup with a 159.2 Hz and 10 m/s 2 (rms) sine wave, allowing the output to be used as a calibration signal for vibration measurement systems.

Features

  • A single unit incorporates three functions: a vibrator, a sensor amplifier, and a display.

  • Compatible with charge output type and built-in amplifier type accelerometers, allowing selection of the required amplifier via a select switch.

    (2.0 mA, 4.0 mA, charge amplifier)

  • It has a digital display, allowing the sensor's sensitivity to be read directly on the spot.

  • Can be used continuously for a long time (approximately 8 hours).

  • Compact and lightweight, it does not take up space.

  • Standard equipment includes the accessories necessary for measurement.

  • Includes a convenient carrying case.

*1 When vibrating with a sinusoidal wave at an acceleration of 10 m/s 2 and a frequency of 159.2 Hz, the vibration speed is 10 mm/s, and the vibration displacement is 10 μm, all unified by the number "10".

Note:

  • Models NP-3110, NP-3211, and NP-2110 require a BNC/minature conversion adapter (NP-0021).

  • The sensitivity display for NP-2106 and NP-2506 is not supported.
