` Introduction to Piezoelectric Force Sensors
`
`(cid:0)
`
`Quartz Force Sensors are recommended for dynamic force applications. They are not used as 'load cells' for
`static applications. Measurements of dynamic oscillating forces, impactor high speed compression/tension
`under varying conditions may require sensors with special capabilities. Fast response, ruggedness, stiffness
`comparable to solid steel, extended ranges and the ability to also measure quasi-static forces are standard
`features associated with PCB quartz force sensors.
`
`The following information presents some of the design and operating characteristics of PCB force sensors to
`help you better understand how they function, which in turn, will "help you make better dynamic
`measurements".
`
`Figure 1 illustrates the cross-section of a typical quartz force sensor. This particular sensor is a General
`Purpose 208 Series compression/tension model with built-in electronics.

`When force is applied to this sensor, the quartz crystals generate an electrostatic charge proportional to the
`input force. This output is collected on the electrodes sandwiched between the crystals and is then either
`routed directly to an external charge amplifier or converted to a low impedance voltage signal within the
`sensor. Both these modes of operation will be examined in the following sections.
