PXLS82422AESR2 Working Principle

The working principle of the PXLS82422AESR2 accelerometer is based on the piezoelectric effect. When the accelerometer is subjected to a mechanical vibration or acceleration, it produces an electrical signal proportional to the magnitude of the force applied. The electrical signal is then amplified and sent to a data acquisition system for further processing. The accelerometer is capable of measuring acceleration up to 1000g.

The PXLS82422AESR2 accelerometer contains a crystal structure consisting of five transducer elements that are arranged in a wheatstone bridge configuration. When vibrations are applied to the bridge, the transducer elements produce an electrical signal that is proportional to the force applied. The bridge is then amplified by an external circuit, producing an analog signal that is processed by a data acquisition system.

The PXLS82422AESR2 accelerometer has a high accuracy, low noise level, and wide frequency response. It is capable of measuring acceleration from DC to 10,000 Hz. The accelerometer is also rugged, able to withstand shock and environmental extremes. It has been approved for use in civilian and military applications by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The PXLS82422AESR2 accelerometer is a reliable and versatile motion sensor that can be used in a wide range of applications in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. Its high accuracy, low noise level, wide frequency response, and rugged design make it perfect for use in applications where reliability and accuracy are of the utmost importance.
