Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors

Piezoelectric sensors contain crystal sensing elements which convert a mechanical or thermal input into an electrical signal, normally a charge output. Piezoelectric Pressure Transducers are used for measuring dynamic pressure or acoustics in extreme environments. They are often used for measuring dynamic pressures in Engine In-cylinder Combustion, Aero & Gas Turbines, Ballistics and even Plastic Injection moulding and Machine Control. Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors exhibit fast dynamic response, extreme ruggedness at high temperatures to 850 Degrees. Custom solutions are readily available including the full measurement chain of cable, connectors, insertion/extraction tools and signal conditioning amplifiers.
