DESCRIPTION
MATES WITH ENDEVCO 3000 SERIES
.45
The ENDEVCO® Model 2258A is a small triaxial (11.4)
CABLES WITH 10-32 UNF-2B CONNECTOR

piezoelectric accelerometer with integral electronics,

designed specifically for measuring vibration in three .20
(5.08)
orthogonal axes on small structures. The transducer
features three hermetically sealed 10-32 connectors
for output connection, and can be screw or adhesive .45
