VERSATILE PIEZO FILM AMPLIFIER SUPPORTS
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH
New Model 1007214 from Measurement Specialties
operates in Charge or Voltage Mode

A versatile piezo film sensor amplifier with selectable charge or voltage mode, and active high- and low-pass filters has been introduced by Measurement Specialties. The Model 1007214 amplifier provides a wide range of sensitivity control -- from -40 dB to +40 dB in voltage mode and 0.01 to 1000mV/pC in charge mode -- at a very competitive price.

The amplifier is designed to allow engineers, inventors and students to realize the many potential benefits of piezo film in product development for numerous industries. It helps determine the practicality of many applications including machine vibration, low frequency dynamic strain, pyroelectric signals, audio band/acoustic signals and traffic sensors. Both first-time users and seasoned professionals will benefit from the wide range of sensitivity adjustment and the functionality of the high- and low-pass filters.

The amplifier allows full frequency response control over piezoelectric sensors, independent of their capacitance or impedance. The input attenuator switch prevents output voltage clipping when the open-circuit voltage is very high. Front panel switches are clearly marked for user-friendly operation.

A sample piezo sensor and BNC input and output connectors are included in the package. Regional versions are available for EU, UK, Japan and USA.

About Piezo Film
Piezo film is a light-weight, flexible polymer material that generates an electrical signal when subjected to dynamic strain, pressure, or deformation. First discovered in 1969, new applications of the material continue to emerge and develop, particularly in areas requiring low-power sensing solutions.

Measurement Specialties, Inc., designs and manufactures a wide variety of sensors and transducers to measure precise ranges of physical characteristics including pressure, force, vibration, position, humidity and temperature.
