Piezoelectric Shock Sensors and Gauges

Ktech Corporation supplies piezoelectric shock sensors and a number of piezoelectric gauge assemblies. Therefore, a customer has the option of building the sensors into his own test assembly or buying a complete gauge assembly that can be customized if required. Both crystal and thin film polymer piezoelectric materials are available.

See Technical Specifications for all PVDF sensors.

Crystal Transducers Quartz, lithium niobate shock gauges Lithium niobate hopkinson bars Shear mode resonators
Thin Film Transducers Ktech's thin film tranducers use the piezoelectric polymer polyvinylidine flouride. We are the North American agent for and part owner of Piezotech SA, the only company licensed to manufacture PVDF sensors using the Bauer hysteretic poling method.
