Resonance frequency for Sensorade sensors

Resonant frequencies of the pressure sensors are measured with the famous Polytec MSA-500. Polytec MSA-500 used a Scanning laser-Doppler vibrometry allows non-contact measurements in real time for the characterization of out-of-plane vibrational behavior and for determining the vibration velocity and displacement at any sample point. Unique features include the ability to acquire data with picometer displacement resolution, to capture frequency response up to 24 MHz, and to analyze non-ideal or non-linear systems.

How does Scanning laser-Doppler vibrometry work?

The laser-Doppler vibrometer is a precision optical transducer for determining the vibration velocity and displacement at a measurement position. It works by sensing the frequency shift of back scattered light from a moving surface. The object scatters or reflects light from the laser beam and the Doppler frequency shift is used to measure the component of velocity which lies along the axis of the laser beam.

Resonance frequency of absolute pressure sensors

The resonant frequency of the absolute pressure sensors reaches up to 2.7 MHz which is the highest resonant frequency on the market, as can be seen in figure 1.

Resonance frequency of differential pressure sensors

The resonant frequency of the differential pressure sensors reaches up to 310 KHz which is the highest resonant frequency on the market, as can be seen in figure 2.
