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.
