Page 11: Measurement
5. Measurement Capacitive Measurement Concept ® Most Kistler K-Beam accelerometer sensing elements consist of very small inertial mass and flexure elements chemically etched from a single piece of silicon. The seismic mass is supported by flexure elements between two plates, which act as electrodes. - Page 12 ® K-Beam Power Supply, Type 5146A15 ® All K-Beam accelerometers provide an output signal similar to that produced by a piezoelectric accelerometer. Unlike a ® accelerometers are piezoelectric accelerometer, K-Beam sensitive to static acceleration. Therefore, gravity is a factor in the ouput signal and must be taken into account when mounting.
