Meggitt piezoelectric accelerometers are charge mode accelerometers that require use of an external charge amplifier, allowing for reliable operation over wider temperature and amplitude ranges. Piezoelectric accelerometers are popular choices for acceleration, shock and vibration measurements, due to their wide frequency ranges, easy installation, and availability in multiple shapes, weights, sizes and sensitivities. Special purpose piezoelectric accelerometers are also available for flight test, extreme low- and high-temperatures and radiation environments.
