Accelerometer (with built-in preamplifier)
NP-3000 series

This sensor converts mechanical vibrations into electric signals in proportion of vibration acceleration.
"The NP-3000 series offers ultra-small masses of 0.4g, tri-axial type which can obtain vibration directions of XYZ at once, waterproof,
high sensitive type, and so on. You can choose the most suitable detector according to the purpose of use, operation conditions,
and applications. Since the preamplifier is built in the detector main body of the NP-3000 series, sensor signal input part can be made relatively inexpensively
and it can be directly connected to analysis equipment such as our FFT analyzer."
Features
*1:Vibration system where M is mass, K is the spring constant, and C is the viscosity resistance.

*1: The sensitivity such as ±0.5 dB and ±1 dB represents sensitivity variation for each sensor ( individual difference), not the measurement accuracy. Performing calibration for each of the sensor according to its respective sensitivity value enables measuremet to be performed under the same conditions and with the same accuracy, irrespective of the sensor type. 1 G≒9.8 m/s2
