PCB Piezotronics, Inc. manufactures accelerometers, force sensors, load cells,
microphones, pressure transducers and transmitters, strain sensors, torque
sensors, signal conditioners, cables, and accessories. This instrumentation is
used for test, measurement, monitoring, and feedback control requirements in
automotive, aerospace, industrial, R&D, military, educational, commercial, and
OEM applications.
Accelerometers:
PCB® offers a vast selection of accelerometers to accommodate anything from routine measurement
tasks to extraordinary testing requirements. Whether it’s a cell phone quality assurance test or
continuous monitoring of an aircraft engine, we can help, with sensors which are off-the-shelf or
custom designed for a specific application.
What are ICP® sensors?
Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric (ICP®) sensors contain built-in microelectronic signal conditioning circuitry – yet operate over just
two wires. This circuitry requires constant current excitation and serves to convert the high-impedance charge signal generated
by the piezoelectric crystal into a low-impedance voltage signal, for ease of signal transmission and analysis. Low-cost coaxial
or two-wire cables may be utilized with ICP sensors. Signal fidelity is relatively unaffected by contamination or moisture.
ICP sensors offer trouble-free operation in dirty, industrial environments or submerged in liquids.
Generally, ICP sensors are more cost effective and easier to use than charge output piezoelectric sensors; however, their
temperature range is limited by the survivability of the built-in microelectronic circuitry.

DC Response Accelerometers
Unlike charge output piezoelectric and ICP
accelerometers, DC response accelerometers possess
the capability to measure static or constant
acceleration without a low frequency cut off
restriction, since their frequency response extends to
0 Hz. PCB offers several sensing technologies for DC
response accelerometers, including piezoresistive
and capacitive.
