U8979 - Charge Unit
Product information U8979 - Charge Unit
The U8979 Charge Unit is a 2-channel acceleration measurement module for the memory recorders MR6000, MR6000-01, MR8848, MR8827, and MR8740T. It enables acceleration measurement with charge-output acceleration sensors and acceleration sensors with a built-in preamplifier. In addition, the module can be used for the measurement and recording of torque and vibration signals. The module provides one BNC input and one miniature connector for charge input per channel. It also supports TEDS-compatible sensors for automatic sensitivity setting.
Typical applications include vibration measurement on machines and assemblies as well as frequency analysis of torque and vibration signals using the recorder’s FFT function. One example is the measurement of vibrations transmitted through the chassis to the motor housing using an acceleration sensor mounted on the chassis.
