Piezo Vibration Sensor - Large with Mass

This basic piezo sensor from Measurement Specialties is often used for flex, touch, vibration, and shock measurements. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back and forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage down to ADC levels. Can also be used for impact sensing or a flexible switch.

Comes with solderable crimp pins and a mass attached to the tip. This mass increases the sensitivity to motion. Multi-axis response can be achieved by positioning the mass off-center. The vibration sensor where the sensing element comprises a cantilever beam loaded by an additional mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies.

Features:

• Laminated for higher voltage output
• Flexible PVDF Piezo Polymer Film
• Wide dynamic range
• 0.1" breadboard friendly leads

Package Includes:

1 x Piezo Vibration Sensor - Large with Mass
