PCB Piezotronics (PCB) has launched the Model 300A31, an advanced end-of-line test kit designed for integration into automated subsystem testing applications. As PCB’s first comprehensive test kit offering in this domain, the Model 300A31 combines the company’s high-precision accelerometer technology with superior durability, ensuring reliable, repeatable measurements even after extensive testing beyond 1,000,000 cycles. The kit also supports a wide upper frequency range of up to 10,000 Hz, making it suitable for a variety of demanding applications.
The test kit facilitates vibration and acceleration measurement by placing the accelerometer base in direct contact with the device under test. Response characteristics are captured via a 10 mV/g high-frequency quartz shear ICP® accelerometer (353B18). The included BNC connector plays a critical role in transmitting the accelerometer’s output signal to external measurement systems, ensuring reliable data acquisition and signal integrity, especially during high-frequency vibration tests.
Designed for seamless integration, the Model 300A31 enables precise measurement even in space constrained environments. Its compact size makes it ideal for validating critical systems in automotive subsystems, including transmissions (gear changes, solenoids, fluid systems), engines (rotating assemblies), tires, steering, gearboxes, differentials, motors, actuators, as well as battery and coolant packages. The accelerometer (353B18) and isolator assembly (080A245) are also sold separately, allowing for flexibility to accommodate specific testing requirements.

About PCB Piezotronics:
Originally founded in 1967 by the late Jim and Bob Lally, the Depew, New York, USA-based PCB Piezotronics designs and manufactures sensors used by design engineers and predictive maintenance professionals to test and measure vibration, pressure, force, acoustics, load, and shock in aerospace and defense, automotive, transportation, civil engineering, and general R&D and test and measurement applications. The company’s primary sensing technologies include piezoelectric (ICP® and charge output), piezoresistive, and MEMS capacitive. PCB Piezotronics is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation.
