Robust

The LDT0-028K is a flexible component
comprising a 28 µm thick piezoelectric PVDF polymer film with screen-printed Ag-ink electrodes, laminated to a mm polyester substrate, and fitted with two crimped contacts. As the piezo film is displaced from the mechanical neutral axis, bending creates very high strain within the piezopolymer and therefore high voltages are generated. When the assembly is deflected by direct contact, the device acts as a flexible "switch", and the generated output is sufficient to trigger MOSFET or CMOS stages directly. If the assembly is supported by its contacts and left to vibrate "in free space" with the inertia of the clamped/free beam creating bending stress , the device will behave as an accelerometer or vibration sensor. Adding mass, or altering the free length of the element by clamping, can change the resonant frequency and sensitivity of the sensor to suit specific applications. Multi-axis response can be achieved by positioning the mass off center. The LDTM-028K is a vibration sensor where the sensing element comprises a cantilever beam loaded by an additional mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies.

LDT with Crimps Vibration Sensor/Switch
examples of properties

Four different experiments serve to illustrate the various properties of this simple but versatile component.

Experiment #1 LDT0 as Vibration Sensor - with
the crimped contacts pushed through a printed-circuit board, the LDT0 was soldered carefully in place to anchor the sensor. A charge amplifier was used to detect the output signal as vibration from a shaker table was applied using a charge amplifier allows a very long measurement time constant and thus allows the "open-circuit" voltage response to be calculated . Small masses approximately 0.26g increments were then added to the tip of the sensor, and the measurement repeated. Results are shown in Table 1 and the overlaid plots in Fig. Without adding mass, the LDT0 shows a resonance around 180 Hz. Adding mass to the tip reduces the resonance frequency and increases "baseline" sensitivity.
