PZA-TRI / SELECT A REQUEST PROFILE

Choose a charge or voltage request for three independent axes.

Each PZA identifier describes a configuration to quote. The requested targets below remain subject to supply, drawing and calibration review.

PZA-TRI-15C

15g three-axis charge request

Three charge channels with explicit axis polarity and mounting coordinates.

Requested output / axes
Charge · pC/g · 3 axis / 3 channels
Connection review
Three-channel breakout / individual outputs
  • 15g mass target
  • 2.8 pC/g nominal request per axis
  • Three separate charge channels; connector layout to confirm
Original references and differences to review

PZA-TRI-01V

1g three-axis voltage request

Check each axis bandwidth; a single frequency limit can conceal the limiting axis.

Requested output / axes
Voltage · mV/g · 3 axis / 3 channels
Connection review
Three-channel breakout / individual outputs
  • 1g mass target
  • 5 mV/g nominal request per axis
  • Three matched voltage/IEPE channels and breakout cable

PZA-TRI-HT

Elevated-temperature three-axis voltage request

Confirm the exact electronics temperature rating before a hot-zone installation.

Requested output / axes
Voltage · mV/g · 3 axis / 3 channels
Connection review
Three-channel breakout / individual outputs
  • Up to +175°C requested; model-specific verification needed
  • Mass, sensitivity and each axis bandwidth unspecified
  • Use charge output review if the electronics limit is exceeded

PZA-TRI / INSTALLATION DECISION

Check X, Y and Z as independent measurement chains.

A three-axis package is not a single electrical channel. For charge output, reserve three charge-conditioning channels. For voltage output, reserve three compatible powered inputs. A breakout cable must preserve the exact pin-to-axis mapping.

Review sensitivity and usable bandwidth for each axis. The original PCB 356A01 page, for example, distinguishes the X-axis frequency range from Y/Z. Do not assign the largest published frequency to all three axes.

Specify axis orientation, mounting coordinates, transverse sensitivity, case/ground isolation and combined loading. A high-temperature voltage request needs confirmation of the integral electronics limit; choose a charge review if that limit is exceeded.

Three separate triaxial channels with axis-specific sensitivity, polarity, conditioning and acquisition requirements
Original engineering concept. Any numerical example is illustrative; actual hardware and installed performance require confirmation.
Can one inline converter condition a triaxial charge sensor?

One channel cannot condition three independent signals. Request three matched charge channels and the correct breakout or individual connectors.

Does PZA-TRI-01V include the same rating on every axis?

The identifier is a request profile. Each axis’s sensitivity, flat band, polarity and calibration must be confirmed in the proposed datasheet.

What drawing is needed for a three-axis installation?

Provide the mounting surface, coordinate convention, connector clearance and cable route. Ask for the proposed controlled envelope and pinout before fixture release.

PZA-TRI / CONFIGURATION REVIEW

Define the test envelope.

Satellite vibration qualification, environmental shakers, chassis development and multi-axis structural tests.

Requested options for review — these are configuration targets, not released specifications.
Charge option request1–10 pC/g; exact charge configuration temperature requires review
Voltage option request5–100 mV/g; temperature and excitation reviewed independently
Mechanical requestTitanium housing, mounting interface and hermetic construction by confirmed configuration

Range, temperature, sensitivity and bandwidth combinations require model-specific confirmation, controlled drawings and calibration requirements.

Before you select

  1. Reserve three independent channels; a single inline converter is not a three-axis solution.
  2. Provide coordinate drawings, transverse sensitivity limits and cable pinout.
  3. Review simultaneous axis loading, mounting resonance and the local temperature of each component.

CAD / CALIBRATION / QUOTATION

Request the documents that close the engineering review.

Independent axis sensitivity/polarity, transverse sensitivity, mounting coordinates and cable pinout.

Controlled datasheet & CAD

Ask for the quoted configuration, revision, complete dimensions, tolerances, mounting thread, cable and connector. STEP availability is confirmed against that exact configuration.

Calibration & traceability scope

State reference frequency, amplitude, excitation and temperature. Request available sensitivity, capacitance, transverse response and frequency/temperature records. A named calibration standard alone is not a test result.

Formal quote / PI inputs

Include sensor and channel counts, accessories, calibration scope, destination, delivery window and required documents. Prices and availability are confirmed in the quotation.

No released PZA CAD, measured certificate or commercial quote is supplied by these concept pages. Select the required documents in the RFQ; we will confirm what can be provided for the proposed configuration.
