piezoelectric transducers

:: application examples

MSI's injection molded piezocomposite transducers can be optimized for coupling into air, plastics, composite materials, and other low acoustic impedance media. These transducers provide high efficiency and inherently broadband performance. Applications examples include:

MSI piezoelectric transducers can be used singly or configured into roller, linear or area arrays, depending on application requirements. For example, MSI has designed and manufactures extremely rugged transducers for the oil and gas industry, as well as roller arrays for scanning wood and other manufactured products.

Injection molded piezocomposite offers many transducer design and performance optimization opportunities for ultrasound systems engineers. Using our unique combination of materials and acoustics engineering, MSI can design transducers from custom piezocomposite, backing layer, matching layer and housing materials. Using our injection molded piezocomposites, thickness mode resonance frequencies from 25kHz to over 1MHz are readily achievable. PZT volume fractions and matrix materials can be adjusted to optimally trade-off acoustic and environmental performance to meet special requirements. Depending on cost, quantity, environmental and acoustic requirements, MSI injection molded piezoelectronic transducers can provide you with a wide range of acoustic capabilities and design options. Our engineers can help you to tap these new capabilities to upgrade or replace your existing ultrasound transducers. In collaboration with your systems engineers, we can design transducers and arrays that match your signal processing requirements so that you realize the highest overall system performance benefit and business advantage from our products.

Many industrial ultrasound customers choose to work with MSI on a proprietary basis and our transducer products are often custom-designed for their applications or built to their print.
