Current Sensors
The measurement of currents in the power train is essential, e.g. for monitoring and controlling the drive power. We offer current sensors in different versions, with one or more current paths and with or without integrated temperature measurement.
Current Sensors
Piher Sensing Systems designs and manufacturers current sensors based on contactless technology for accurate measurement of currents in automotive battery management and motor control applications.
Piher’s precision current sensors improve motor or solenoid control applications and grid monitoring addressing the needs of both Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs.
Custom Design & Development of Ultrasonic Transducers
Piezo Technologies assists customers in designing, developing, manufacturing, assembling, and testing a wide range of custom piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers. We specialize in solving complex ultrasonic transducer challenges and have extensive experience designing and manufacturing high temperature, high pressure, and harsh environment transducers.
Custom Hemispherical and Spherical Piezoceramics
Piezo Technologies specializes in designing, modeling, and developing hemispherical and spherical piezoelectric ceramic sensing elements for customers who range from prime defense contractors to naval labs and advanced marine research teams. Some require only the ceramic, custom-shaped to exacting frequency, sensitivity, and depth specifications. Others ask us to build the entire transducer.
Custom Piezoceramic Composites
Piezo Technologies’ custom piezoceramic composites offer improved and tunable acoustic matching, higher bandwidth, and faster ringdown characteristics, compared to traditional piezoceramics. Applications include underwater sonar, handheld sonar, underwater buried object detection, and NDT. We can provide custom sensing elements as well as complete build-to-spec ultrasonic transducers.
Custom Piezoelectric Ceramics
Piezo Technologies produces advanced piezoelectric ceramics for use in ultrasonic transducers. Our wide range of high quality piezoelectric ceramic materials includes modified Lead Zirconate Titanate, both hard PZT and soft PZT, including Navy Type PZT materials (Navy I PZT-4, Navy II PZT-5A, Navy III PZT-8, Navy V PZT-5J, and Navy VI PZT-5H).
Custom Piezoelectric Ceramics and Composites
Piezo Technologies produces high performance piezo ceramic elements for high temperature, high pressure, high vibration, and harsh environments. Customers range from naval laboratories to medical device manufacturers and oilfield equipment manufacturers. Some require only a ceramic, custom-shaped to exacting frequency and sensitivity specifications. Others contract the entire transducer.
Custom Ultrasonic Transducers
Piezo Technologies customers include many prime defense contractors. We offer a comprehensive suite of services, from design and development to build-to-print contract manufacturing of ultrasonic transducers, sensors, and sub-assemblies. We absorb development work and deliver a plug-and-play acoustic component so their engineers can focus on system-level performance.
Custom Ultrasonic Transducers for Non-Destructive Testing
Specialty piezoceramics and custom ultrasonic transducers for challenging NDT applications: inspecting aircraft components like wings, fuselage, and engines; inspecting Oil & Gas pipelines, pressure vessels, and storage tanks; detecting cracks and fissures in tracks on railway systems; detecting wear, corrosion, cracks, and defects in power generation systems; manufacturing quality control.
Downhole Inspection Transducers
Custom-engineered Ultrasonic Downhole Transducers are designed for extremely harsh environments that are highly corrosive, abrasive, hot (up to 392°F / 200°C), and pressurized (35,000+ psi). Applications include borehole images and diameter measurements, cement bond evaluations, casing inspections, fluid properties evaluations, flow measurements, and perforation inspections.
