Introduction
The model 990-04-XX-01 is a Velomitor® Series Piezoelectric AC Accelerometer from PCB Piezotronics. This model is part of a family of high-frequency response, industrial-grade sensors designed for measuring dynamic vibration. The "XX" in the model number is a placeholder that specifies the sensitivity value (e.g., -10 for 10 mV/g, -50 for 50 mV/g, -100 for 100 mV/g). This accelerometer outputs a raw AC voltage signal proportional to acceleration, making it ideal for condition monitoring, vibration testing, and machinery analysis where detailed frequency data is required. Its rugged, stainless steel construction ensures reliability in harsh industrial environments.
