Description

The ±32g 3-Axis Industrial Accelerometer is the high-g end of the range, built for impact. Drop tests, crash tests, packaging qualification, forging and press work — events that are over in milliseconds and produce accelerations that would flatten a sensor specified for machine health.

Impact testing is demanding on the sensor as well as on the sample. This model keeps 0.01g accuracy and 0.001g resolution for the quiet moments before and after the event, and holds up through repeated high-g shocks. It is specified by test labs, packaging engineers and anyone who needs to prove a product survives what happens to it in transit. It tops out our industrial accelerometers range, which starts at ±2g for attitude work and shares one mechanical platform across all four ranges.

Typical Applications

  • Drop testing for packaging qualification and transport simulation
  • Crash and impact testing in automotive and rail component work
  • Forging and press monitoring — high-energy, short-duration events
  • Protective packaging validation against ISTA and similar procedures
  • Product robustness testing during design verification

Sampling rate matters more than anything else in impact work, so tell us the event duration you need to capture before ordering — if you need finer time resolution than the standard configuration provides, we can discuss options. For continuous running-vibration monitoring rather than one-off impact events, the ±8g model will give you better use of the measurement range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick the right measuring range? As a working rule, your normal operating acceleration should sit at roughly one-third to one-half of the full range. That leaves headroom for start-up transients and fault conditions without wasting resolution. If your machine normally sees 0.5g, ±2g is right; if it sees 3-4g during normal running, move to ±8g and keep ±16g for shock events.

Which output should I choose? CAN for vehicles and mobile machinery where a bus already exists; 4-20mA for long cable runs and direct PLC/SCADA input; RS485 (Modbus RTU) when you want multiple sensors on one digital network; 0-10V for short, cost-sensitive runs. Our CAN version is in stock now — the other three are available on request.

Can you customize the sensor for our application? Yes. Range, output type, cable length, connector and mounting are all configurable, and we do OEM/ODM runs. Send us the machine type, speed, mounting position, and what you need to detect, and we will come back with a recommendation.
