The MadgeTech range of shock and vibration data loggers is available from Pacific Sensor Technologies . These are portable stand alone battery powered devices designed to record the following environmental variables:
- Shock (g-force, impact/acceleration)
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Pressure
Recording shock using the Shock101* data recorder is often adequate in many cases such as shipment monitoring, or laboratory/drop testing. However, recording temperature, humidity, and pressure, gives the UltraShock added versatility. In addition, these data loggers record the vector sum, giving the user the overall acceleration data of the goods being monitored.
Using a built-in semiconductor (MEMS) accelerometer, various models of the UltraShock and Shock data recorders can sense accelerations with ranges of ±5g, ±50g and ±100g. This type of sensor is commonly used for a variety of industries, including electronics, mining, industrial, aerospace, military, automotive, and safety-critical processes. The UltraShock sensors are often used for industries such as mechanical stress and shipping.
