Sensors used to monitor extreme environments need to provide reliable measurements despite high temperatures and harsh conditions. Now, researchers have developed a piezoelectric sensor that works at ...

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

A 1-op-amp circuit for processing the signal from a piezoelectric accelerometer. Accelerometers are used in instrumentation applications to measure a change in velocity with respect to time or an ...

This article explains some of the principles of signal conditioning. Piezoelectric sensors have been chosen to illustrate these principles because their conditioning requires a mix of traditional ...

This video shows PI’s Piezo Technology, which includes a range of piezoelectric actuators and piezoelectric sensor components for applications in industry and research. There are numerous sizes and ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

HDK-America has announced an incredibly small, piezo-resistive three-axis acceleration sensor. HDK-America has released a small, piezo-resistive three-axis acceleration sensor, the HAAM-325B, ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

If you do FDM 3D printing, you know one of the biggest problems is sensing the bed. Nearly all printers have some kind of bed probing now, and it makes printing much easier, but there are many ...
