The LDT0-028K is a flexible component comprising
a 28 μm thick piezoelectric PVDF polymer film with screenprinted silver ink electrodes, laminated to a 0.125 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
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.
