Description

The LDT0-028K sensor utilizes a 28 µm thick piezoelectric PVDF polymer film laminated to a 0.125 mm polyester substrate, with screen-printed silver ink electrodes. Bending the film displaces it from the mechanical neutral axis, creating high strain within the piezopolymer and generating a correspondingly high output voltage. This principle allows the device to function either as a direct-contact flexible switch or, when mounted as a cantilever, as an accelerometer responding to inertial vibrations.

The sensor’s sensitivity and resonant frequency can be tuned by adding mass or altering the clamped free length of the element, enabling customization for specific application requirements. Its construction is designed to withstand high-impact events while providing a reliable, solderable interface for integration into control circuits, condition monitoring systems, and impact detection assemblies.

Key Features

  • High-strain PVDF piezoelectric film for robust voltage generation.
  • Flexible polyester substrate allows for conformal mounting and bending.
  • Screen-printed silver ink electrodes ensure consistent electrical performance.
  • Durable crimped solder tab contacts for secure electrical connection.
  • Configurable as an impact switch or inertial vibration sensor.
  • Wide operating and storage temperature range for industrial reliability.
  • No external power required for basic switch-mode operation.
  • Resonant frequency and sensitivity can be adjusted with added mass or clamping.

Applications

  • Industrial machinery vibration monitoring and condition-based maintenance.
  • Impact and tamper detection in security systems and enclosures.
  • Flexible, low-profile switches for human-machine interfaces (HMI).
  • Vibration analysis in automotive testing and structural health monitoring.
  • Activity sensing in wearable devices and sports equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the LDT0-028K sensor, and how do I interface with it?

The LDT0-028K generates a high-voltage pulse when bent or impacted, with an amplitude sufficient to directly drive the gate of a MOSFET or the input of a CMOS logic gate without additional amplification. For quantitative vibration measurement, the output can be conditioned using a high-impedance buffer or charge amplifier. Interface by soldering directly to the provided crimped tabs.

Can this sensor be used as an accelerometer?

Yes. When the sensor is mounted as a cantilever beam (clamped at one end), its inertia causes bending in response to acceleration, allowing it to function as a vibration sensor or accelerometer. The sensitivity and resonant frequency can be tuned by adding a small mass to the free end or by adjusting the clamped length, tailoring its response to specific frequency ranges.

What is the operating temperature range and environmental durability?

The sensor operates from 0°C to 85°C and can be stored from -40°C to 85°C. The PVDF film and polyester substrate provide good flexibility and durability against repeated bending and high-impact shocks. It is not hermetically sealed, so it should be protected from direct immersion or corrosive chemicals.

How do I mount and calibrate the LDT0-028K for my application?

Mount the sensor using its solder tabs, either by direct soldering to a PCB or using wires. For switch mode, ensure the film is positioned to be deflected by the target event. For vibration sensing, clamp one end firmly to create a cantilever. Calibration involves characterizing the output voltage versus deflection or acceleration under known test conditions, as the raw output is uncalibrated and varies with mounting and added mass.
