Metal disks with piezo material, used in buzzers or as contact microphones. Piezoelectric technology can measure various physical quantities, most commonly pressure and acceleration. For pressure sensors, a thin membrane and a massive base is used, ensuring that an applied pressure specifically loads the elements in one direction.
Insides of a slip-stick piezoelectric motor. Two piezoelectric crystals are visible that provide the mechanical torque. [1]A piezoelectric motor or piezo motor is a type of electric motor based on the change in shape of a piezoelectric material when an electric field is applied, as a consequence of the converse piezoelectric effect.
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, [1] which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers, train and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
