Suiting use for interfacing piezo-ultrasonic transducers with external circuitry or embedded systems for ultrasonic sensing, the 9000 Sonar Ranging Module operates on 5V dc. The drive module provides ...

While learning about different types of vibration sensors for condition monitoring, I came across a cheap piezoelectric shock/tap/vibration sensor switch module hiding in a corner of my messy ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...

Like all ceramics, piezo ceramics are brittle materials that are well suited to handling compressive loads but are highly sensitive to bending, shear and tensile loads. A number of mechanical ...

To increase the accessibility of piezoelectric transducers and actuators for OEM designers, manufacturers may package these devices inside a protective arrangement of flexures. This approach offers a ...

How does a piezoelectric transducer (actuator) work? Modern Piezo actuators are based on thin piezoceramic layers manufactured in a co-fired process to form a monolithic unit. They are also called ...

The increasing miniaturization and sophistication of electronic products, ranging from consumer media devices to medical diagnostic tools to defense-related sonar applications, presents a bounty of ...

Will piezoelectric-based speakers replace traditional speakers over the coming years in space-constrained devices? We have definitely seen the use of piezo transducers in e.g. high-end televisions ...

Throughout the surgical process, the surgeon must have access to a real-time assessment of blood vessels to make evaluations relative to the flow of blood. Piezo transducers are at the heart of ...
