About the EGCS-D0 | EGCS-D1S Critically Damped Accelerometer

The Model EGCS-D0/D1S accelerometers are critically damped with built-in over-range stops that are set to protect the unit against up to 20000 g shocks. This is ideal for applications which may experience rough handling or in situations where the accelerometer must survive a high initial overload in order to make a low g measurement. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge output with compensated temperature range of +20 to +80 ºC.
