Piezoelectric sensors convert mechanical movements, such as force, acceleration or pressure, into electric signals. A piezo sensor features low sensitivity to temperature and magnetic field fluctuations, low transverse sensitivity, high resonance frequency and high stability. Piezo sensors can be used for a long range of piezo-based applications.
