EGAS Series Accelerometer

Description: The Model EGAS is a miniature, uniaxial accelerometer featuring ranges from ± 5 g’s through 2500 g’s. This rugged unit weights less than 1 gram (without leads) and has an over range limit of ± 10,000 g’s. The 1/2 active bridge is suitable for shunt calibration. With an operating temperature range of -40ºC to 120ºC, the EGAS is the unit of choice for measurement professionals in the automotive, aerospace and transportation industries. Its combined non-linearity and hysteresis of ± 1% makes the EGAS well-suited for on-site testing as well as laboratory use.
