Piezoelectric Accelerometers By Ipa Private Limited

A piezoelectric accelerometer is an electro mechanical transducer, which at its output terminal, gives an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration to which it is subjected, due to the fact that the deformation of a piezoelectric sensing element used therein by an applied force will produce an electrical signal proportional to that force. There are many different types of transducers which can be used to measure vibration. In practice, velocity and displacement can be easily obtained from acceleration by use of an integrating circuit, and it turns out that the Piezoelectric accelerometer is nearly always the best transducer to use for the following reasons
