d33 PiezoMeter Systems

A range of equipment for direct testing of piezoelectric materials and devices

Applications: Assessment and Quality Control Research and Development Features: All systems directly measure d33 Direct reading for almost any shape and size NEW: variable test force and frequency NEW: maximum 0.01 pC/N resolution Many features beyond those of a standard 'd33 meter': Options to measure g33, d31, d15, g31, g15, C, eT33, tan d, etc.

Why use a PiezoMeter? It is fast, convenient, and accurate. The PiezoMeter offers superior resolution and consistency compared to static methods, and is appropriate to almost any sample geometry. An accurate reading is achieved in seconds - all that is required is an electroded area where one can apply the force and collect the charge.

How it works The system works by clamping the sample, and subjecting it to a low frequency force. Processing of the electrical signals from the sample, and comparison with a built-in reference, enables the system to give a direct reading of d33 - one of the most useful parameters in evaluating the material.

Which model?

All systems consist of a force unit, which grips the device under test and applied the force, and an electronics module which processes the electrical output from the piezoelectric material. All PiezoMeter Systems have been designed with ease and speed of use in mind, making production testing efficient.

Options are available for testing of capacitance and dielectric loss, and for high-sensitivity testing of low-output materials. Adaptors are available for testing of d31.
