The Dytran model 1022V is a miniature lightweight IEPE force sensor designed to offer low-mass dynamic measurement capabilities within Dytran’s smallest and most lightweight package. Measuring just 0.49 inches tall and weighing just 4.5 grams (without cable), the Dytran model 1022V offers precision force measurement capabilities of up to 50 lbf, with a 100 mV/g sensitivity and an unloaded 50 kHz natural frequency. As an IEPE sensor, the model 1022V features built-in electronics, eliminating the need for an external charge amplifier and converter.

Design of model 1022V features a quartz sensing element, operating in compression mode and packaged in a lightweight titanium housing with an integral 5-foot coaxial cable terminating to a 10-32 coaxial connector. A series of 10-32 tapped holes, located at both the top and bottom of the sensor hosing, are designed to facilitate mounting of the sensor into threaded holes on the driving rods and test specimen.
