Piezoelectric elements for signals and sensors
Piezoelectric elements are made of special materials such as PZT ceramics (lead zirconate titanate), which have a high dielectric constant and a high electromechanical coupling factor. These materials enable the elements to convert mechanical loads into electrical signals and vice versa. The structure usually comprises a layer of piezoelectric material with electrodes on both sides.
During use, mechanical energy is transferred to the element, creating an electrical voltage. Conversely, mechanical deformation can be caused by applying an electrical voltage. In the electronics industry, piezoelectric elements are used in sensors, ultrasonic devices and other precise measuring systems that require high sensitivity and accuracy.

Piezoelectric elements for the automotive industry and medical technology
Piezoelectric elements are used in a variety of applications in the electronics and electrical engineering industry thanks to their ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical signals. In medical technology, they are used in ultrasound devices, where they generate precise vibrations to capture image data. In the automotive industry, piezoelectric sensors are used to measure gas or liquid flow rates, while they are also important in NDT/NDE (non-destructive testing) applications for the inspection of materials such as weld seams or construction site materials.
Piezoelectric disc benders are also used in household appliances such as smoke detectors and alarm systems, where they generate acoustic signals. The high sensitivity and durability of these elements make them an ideal choice for precise measurements and sensor technology in demanding environments. Piezoelectric elements are also used in automation technology to monitor and control machines and processes.
