Piezoelectric sensors are great for monitoring mechanical impacts with a microcontroller. Whether you’re monitoring knocks on a door or watching a heartbeat, they are a cheap way to get the job ...

Piezoelectric sensors leverage voltage generation through mechanical stress in non-centrosymmetric materials, such as quartz and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), while triboelectric sensors operate ...

Quartz is a naturally occurring piezoelectric crystal that is widely used in oscillators, resonators, and sensors. Its piezoelectric properties, combined with its high thermal stability and low ...

Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK) reported Dec. 2 that its parent company, Spectris plc has purchased Piezocryst Advanced ...

The NPS-XY-100A is a piezo scanned flexure guided nanopositioning stage with integrated capacitance position sensors. It is made of Super Invar and is capable of sub-nanometer resolution and ...

The hysteresis is less than a nanometer. Ordinary piezoelectric translators are non-linear and exhibit hysteresis and creep. To overcome these deficiencies a position sensor is built into each DPT.
