Dytran Instruments model 1022V IEPE force sensor

Dytran Instruments has introduced the model 1022V IEPE force sensor, designed to offer low-mass dynamic measurement capabilities within the company’s smallest and most lightweight package.

The sensor offers precision force measurement capabilities of up to 50 lbf, with a 100 mV/lbf sensitivity and an unloaded natural frequency of 50 kHz. It features built-in electronics, eliminating the need for an external charge amplifier and converter.

The design features a quartz sensing element, operating in compression mode and packaged in a lightweight titanium housing with an integral 1.524 m coaxial cable, terminating in a 10-32 coaxial connector.

A series of 10-32 tapped holes, at both the top and bottom of the sensor housing, are expressly designed to facilitate mounting of the sensor into threaded holes on the driving rods and test specimen.

Accessories include the 6011A coaxial cable assembly and 4110C or 4115B current source.
