Flexible Piezoelectric Transducers In Pakistan

The Flexible Piezoelectric Transducers Piezoelectric Sensor Vibration Sensor Minisense 100 is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. The pins are designed for easy installation and are solderable. Horizontal and vertical mounting options are offered as well as a reduced height version. The active sensor area is shielded for improved RFI/EMI rejection. Rugged, flexible PVDF sensing element withstands high shock overload.

The sensor has excellent linearity and dynamic range and may be used for detecting either continuous vibration or impacts. The mass may be modified to obtain alternative frequency response and sensitivity selection (consult factory).

Features:

1. High Voltage Sensitivity (1 V/g)
2. Over 5 V/g at Resonance
3. Horizontal or Vertical Mounting
4. Shielded Construction
5. Solderable Pins, PCB Mounting
6. Low Cost
7. < 1% Linearity
8. Up to 40 Hz (2,400 rpm) Operation below Resonance

Applications:

1. Washing Machine Load Imbalance
2. Vehicle Motion Sensor
3. Anti-Theft Devices
4. Vital Signs Monitoring
5. Tamper Detection
6. Impact Sensing

How Does It Work

The MiniSense 100 acts as a cantilever-beam accelerometer. When the beam is mounted horizontally, acceleration in the vertical plane creates bending in the beam, due to the inertia of the mass at the tip of the beam. Strain in the beam creates a piezoelectric response, which may be detected as a charge or voltage output across the electrodes of the sensor.
