5734 mechano-electronic transducer (triode)

|
This valve measures 20x7mm overall and has 4 leads |
This valve works by the angular displacement of the anode rod causing a
change in distance between the grid and anode, with the resultant change in anode current. The part of
the anode shaft inside the valve body has a minimum free cantilever resonance of 12kHz, and thus the
valve can measure vibration up to that figure.

- For anode shaft in undeflected position
- Average change in voltage across 75k ohm anode load resistor when the anode shaft is deflected
from -0.5 to +0.5 degree. The plane of deflection of the anode shaft must coincide with the plane
through terminal no.5 and the axis of the valve.
- Based on external anode-shaft length of 1/8" and the centre of the diaphragm as pivot.
