General Purpose Piezoelectric Force Sensors from the Force/Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics Inc measure dynamic compression, tensile, and impact forces in a wide variety of applications. Sensors ...
For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...
