Abstract
This paper describes the construction and performance of a recently introduced Annular Shear piezoelectric accelerometer, Type 4511. The design has insulated and double-shielded case. The accelerometer housing is made of stainless steel, AISI 316L. Piezoceramic PZ23 is used. The seismic mass is made of tungsten. All processes and materials comply with MIL-STD-11268. The mounted resonance frequency exceeds 40kHz. The sensitivity is 10mV/g ±5%. During the design process, the new design is evaluated and sufficiently optimized by using the Finite Element (FE) simulation before making actual prototype. Reasonable agreement between the experimental results of the physical prototype and the simulation results is achieved. The design becomes more efficient. In addition, Type 4511 has a built in DeltaTronâ charge amplifier with ID and complies with IEEE-P1451.4 standard, which is a smart transducer interface for sensors including mixed-mode communication protocols and transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS).
