Piezo Vibration Sensor - Small Horizontal

SEN-09198

Elmwood Electronics has stopped accepting orders. This product might be available at PiShop.ca. Please check this blog post about our recent team merger.

The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and 'tap' inputs from a user. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back an forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage down to ADC levels. Can also be used for impact sensing or a flexible switch.

Comes with machine pins that allows for horizontal mounting.

We've seen this used as great musical inputs.

Features:

  • Flexible PVDF Piezo Polymer Film
  • Wide dynamic range
