Dytran model 3184F rugged industrial accelerometer

The Dytran model 3184F is a rugged IEPE piezoelectric accelerometer with a built-in Faraday shield for electrostatic noise immunity, a sensitivity of 100 mV/g and a good low-frequency response.

The model incorporates a ceramic shear sensing element, packaged in a stainless steel housing with a 2-pin MIL-C-5015 axial connector. It is also directly compatible with the series 6194 Immersion Proof sealing boot. When used together, the sensor remains fully functional in an IP65 environment. Case isolated to avoid EMI/ground loop interference, the product is hermetically sealed for operation in high humidity and dirty environments.

The device has a 50g range and EMI/RFI protection. It weighs 135 g and operates at temperatures from -4.5 to +70°C. Applications include industrial vibration monitoring, turbo engine testing, walkabout data collection and general-purpose vibration monitoring.
