Piezoelectric Sensors

Piezoelectric ceramic sensors, commonly known as PZT sensors, utilize the piezoelectric effect in ceramic materials to convert mechanical stress or vibrations into electrical signals. Composed of lead zirconate titanate (PZT), these sensors exhibit a crystalline structure that generates electric charges when subjected to mechanical strain. When pressure is applied, the ceramic deforms, inducing voltage proportional to the applied force. PZT sensors find applications in various fields, including industrial monitoring, ultrasonic devices, and medical imaging. Their high sensitivity, rapid response, and durability make them valuable for capturing and converting mechanical phenomena into electrical signals for diverse sensing purposes.
