Sensors for Test Labs

PCB sensors provide precise measurements for your testing needs

 


PCB Sensors for Test Labs

Engineers and scientists at leading businesses, research institutions, and independent laboratories around the world choose PCB® as their sensor manufacturer. Product lines include sensors for the measurement of acceleration, acoustics, force, load, pressure, shock, strain, torque, and vibration.

Applications of PCB Sensors for Test Labs

Our precision microphones, accelerometers, force sensors and pressure transducers are used for many different applications, including:


Modal Analysis

Study and map dynamic properties of a structure using force sensors or accelerometers and analysis software.

Environmental Testing

Determine the influence of specific environmental conditions on equipment performance.

Vibration Isolation

Use piezoelectric accelerometers, force sensors, or MEMs accelerometers to measure and prevent unwanted transmissions of vibration.

Simulated Pyroshock Testing

Simulate stress waves to measure harsh impacts on structural integrity with rugged accelerometers.

Automotive Crash Testing

Use force sensors and/or rugged accelerometers for impact, airbag and dummy tests to increase driver, passenger and pedestrian safety.

Structural Vibration Testing

Measure vibration in buildings and infrastructure with accelerometers to ensure structural integrity.

Fatigue Testing

Use accelerometers to subject assemblies to specific vibration profiles with the goal of stressing mechanical components to failure.

Drop Testing

Measure sudden peaks in acceleration to improve on ruggedness and survivability.

Crimping, Stamping & Press Monitoring

Detect critical bearing faults using high temperature ICP® accelerometers.

Tensile Testing

Test material strength and stretching threshold using general purpose and fatigue-rated load cells.

Noise Source Identification

Identify and eliminate sources of acoustic vibrations on a structure using precision microphones.

Sound Power Testing

Make sound intensity measurements with precision microphones.

Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH)

Treat unwanted vibration and audible sounds using precision microphones and accelerometers.

Sound Pressure Mapping

Use array microphones to map sound source and intensity on and around a structure.

Cavitation Measurements

Use piezoelectric pressure sensors to measure underwater shock due to cavitation that can damage machinery like control valves, pumps, propellers and impellers.

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Repetitive Pulses

Measure high pressure, repetitive pulses, such as those encountered in hydraulic applications using industrial grade pressure sensors.

Turbulence Testing

Measure turbulence with underwater and wind tunnel testing using piezoelectric pressure sensors or surface microphones.

Blast Measurements

Use piezoelectric pressure sensors to measure shock waves caused by explosions both underwater and on land.
