Piezoelectric accelerometer
Features Description
• Long term stability
• Hermetically sealed
• Operational to -452°F (-269°C)
• Requires no external power
• Vibration measurement at extreme temperature
The Endevco® model 2272 is a piezoelectric
accelerometer designed specifically for vibration
measurement at temperature extremes. The unit is
hermetically sealed for use in harsh environments and
features long term stability. Its unique sensing elements
offer an unusually flat temperature response over a broad
range. The accelerometer is a self-generating device that
requires no external power source for operation.
The model 2272 features Endevco’s Piezite® type P-10
crystal element, operating in compression mode. This
unit exhibits excellent output sensitivity stability over
time. Signal ground is connected to the outer case of
the unit. When used with an isolated mounting stud, the
accelerometer is electrically isolated from ground. The
accelerometer features a 10-32 UNF-2A side-connector. A
low-noise coaxial cable is supplied for error-free operation.
Endevco signal conditioner models 133, 2775B, 2771C, 6634C or Oasis 2000
computer-controlled 4990A-X system are recommended for use with this high
impedance accelerometer with cards 428 and/or 433.

Notes:
1. Low-end response of the transducer is a function of its associated electronics.
2. Short duration shock pulses, such as those generated by metal-to-metal
impacts, may excite transducer resonance and cause linearity errors. Request
the TP290 for more details.
3. Exposure to rapid temperature changes greater than 100°F (38°C) per minute
may cause the device to produce spurious high frequency discharges for
several minutes.
4. Maintain high levels of precision and accuracy using Endevco’s factory
calibration services. Call Endevco’s inside sales force at 800-982-6732 for
recommended intervals, pricing and turnaround time for these services as
well as for quotations on our standard products.
