The Science of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting: Applications and Benefits

A piezoelectric sensor is a device that detects changes in pressure, temperature, strain, and acceleration and converts them into an electric charge. To do this, the sensor uses the piezoelectric effect. It is true that when voltage is applied then, the material distorts.


It has become a speaker that you can use to create a high-pitched tone. It carries both non-encased and encased piezo elements, which come in several sizes and ratings.

Optical Adjustment

·        Some optics need to be adjusted or modulated with the broad frequency response and have a minimum number of moving parts. It does offer you fast and accurate control for a long service life.


·        The angle of the mirror, or diffraction, may need to be precisely that is varied accordingly.


Fast response solenoids

·        Some processes require quick and precise mechanical actuation, which is difficult to achieve with electromagnetic solenoids. However, the speed may not matter because the power consumption or size's compactness is the priority.


·        With this piezo element, you can experience fast response and low power consumption in small packages, compared to electromagnetic solenoids.


Ultrasonic Cleaning

·        The piezoelectric element is also used for the ultrasonic cleaning application and perform ultrasonic cleaning when objects are immersed in the solvent.


·        It is a transducer that then agitates the solvent as there are many objects. It comes with several objects that are on accessible surfaces, which can be cleaned with the use of this methodology.
