Description

Overview
Compact, low-mass IEPE accelerometer designed for wideband vibration measurement using Kistler's K-Shear quartz sensing element.

Description
Type 8728A applies a K-Shear quartz sensing element operating in shear mode with precisely cut quartz plates to minimize sensitivity to thermal transients, base strain and transverse motion. Its small form factor and integrated cable facilitate mounting in confined spaces while delivering long-term stability and repeatable results for industrial vibration analysis.

Key features / benefits
  • Low output impedance, voltage mode (IEPE compatible)
  • Small, lightweight construction with integral cable
  • Wide frequency response suitable for broadband measurements
  • Ultra-low base strain sensitivity and thermal transient response
  • Low sensitivity to transverse motion and mounting-induced effects
  • Long-term stability provided by K-Shear quartz element
  • CE conformity


Variants
  • 8728A500 — Miniature IEPE accelerometer, K-Shear quartz, 500 g range
