Accelerometers

A range of accelerometer types may be used with the Rotortuner equipment, with low-frequency balance accelerometers being the norm (0-10kHz).

Description

Optionally, high-frequency accelerometers may be used with processing capability being increased in stages up to a maximum capability of 50KHz. High-temperature accelerometers are also catered for with options currently available for temperatures up to 600°C. Helitune can supply a wide variety of accelerometers to suit the requirements of any vibration task.

Accelerometers for use in High-Temperature environments are available for use alongside the standard RTB accelerometers. High-temperature cabling and external conditioning allows Helitune to supply devices

suitable for use at a high-temperature range up to 250, 400, and 600°C.

Helitune is able to supply in-line signal conditioning amplifiers for accelerometers of this type. These amplifiers convert the high impedance charge output from the accelerometer into a voltage signal that is compatible with the inputs of the Rotortuner Data Collection Units.   

Accelerometers should be mounted to the machine using purpose-designed bracketry and torque loaded to the correct value. Failure to do this could result in false values being measured.

Further information on each Accelerometer type specification can be found in the data sheet area.

*Please note that the H901 range of Accelerometers has now been replaced with the H903X product range.
