Component Specifications

Definition
A transducer element is the core sensing component within a measurement probe that transforms physical parameters (such as displacement, pressure, temperature, or force) into proportional electrical signals. It serves as the primary interface between the measured environment and the probe's signal conditioning electronics, enabling precise data acquisition in industrial metrology and process control systems.
Working Principle
Operates based on piezoelectric, piezoresistive, capacitive, or inductive transduction principles where mechanical deformation or environmental changes alter electrical properties (resistance, capacitance, voltage) to generate measurable signals proportional to the input stimulus.
Materials
Piezoelectric ceramics (PZT), silicon with piezoresistive doping, stainless steel housings, gold-plated electrodes, epoxy encapsulation, and temperature-stable substrates.
Technical Parameters
  • Linearity ±0.5% FS
  • Hysteresis <0.3% FS
  • Sensitivity 10-100 mV/N or 0.1-10 pC/N
  • Output Impedance 100 Ω to 10 kΩ
  • Excitation Voltage 5-24 VDC
  • Frequency Response 0.1 Hz to 50 kHz
  • Operating Temperature -40°C to 150°C
Standards
ISO 16063-21, DIN 51309

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a transducer element and a sensor?

A transducer element specifically refers to the component that converts physical energy to electrical signals, while a sensor includes additional elements like housing, connectors, and signal conditioning circuits.

How do I select the right transducer element for my application?

Consider measurement range, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity), required accuracy, frequency response, and compatibility with existing probe electronics.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
