Piezoelectric

Kyowa piezoelectric accelerometers are dynamic acceleration sensors that use the piezoelectric effect — generating an electrical signal in response to mechanical stress — to measure vibration, shock, and acceleration with high fidelity. Many models have built-in amplifiers (IEPE type) for easier integration with data acquisition systems, and others offer charge output versions for extreme environmental conditions. Typical Kyowa piezoelectric models include ASPA-A, ASPB-A, ASPC-A, ASPD-A, as well as ASPF-A charge-output types for especially high impact or harsh environments.

⭐ Key Advantages

• Wide dynamic and frequency range: Capable of capturing both low-level vibration and high-impact acceleration with broad frequency response, making them versatile for many dynamic tests.

• High sensitivity and signal quality: Piezoelectric elements provide strong, proportional electrical output with good signal-to-noise performance, useful for detecting fine vibration details.

• Compact and lightweight: Small form-factor sensors fit into tight spaces and add minimal mass to the test setup, reducing influence on measured dynamics.

• Robust construction: Many models withstand demanding environments, and charge-output designs improve resistance to extreme temperature and mechanical stress.

• Integrated electronics (IEPE): Built-in amplifiers simplify wiring and reduce external signal conditioning needs, improving system reliability.
