The Endevco® model 71M series of subminiature SMT
piezoresistive accelerometers are rugged undamped
accelerometers designed for shock measurements.
Endevco micro-machines the sensing system of the 71M
from a single piece of silicon. This etched silicon chip
includes the inertial mass and strain gages arranged in an
active four-arm Wheatstone bridge circuit complete with a
novel on-chip zero balance network.
The low mass, extremely small size and unique
construction of the element blends an exceptionally high
resonant frequency with characteristics such as low
output impedance, 3x overrange, and zero damping for no
phase shift. The high resonant frequency of these sensors
permits their survival in the presence of the high frequency
components in a shock pulse that could shatter the seismic
system of accelerometers having lower resonance.

High resonant frequencies and zero damping also allow
the accelerometers to respond accurately to fast rise time,
short duration shock motion. With a frequency response
extending down to dc (steady state accelerations) these
transducers are ideal for measurement of long duration
transients, and permit integration of the accleration data to
obtain velocity and displacement.
