Request Information
Expressly designed for commercial and military aircraft vibration monitoring, the Dytran model 3168F is a ring-style IEPE piezoelectric accelerometer incorporating the use of high stability quartz shear technology.

The model 3168F if offered with a 10 mV/g sensitivity and features a miniature thru-hole design, allowing the sensor to be turned 360° prior to securing for ease of sensor installation. Units are hermetically sealed for reliable operation in high-humidity and dirty environments, as well as case isolated to avoid EMI/ground loop interference. Case ground isolation is achieved by internally isolating the accelerometer element, complete with Faraday shield, from the outer housing.

The Dytran model 3168F features an integral 4-foot molded Viton™ cable, terminating in twisted shielded pair flying leads. Custom lengths and connectors are also available; please consult the factory for details.
