Dynamomètre piézoélectrique. La partie essentielle est un cristal, généralement de quartz, placé entre des armatures convenables. Le quartz s'utilise sous forme de rondelles ou de lame. L'effort s'exerçant suivant une direction définie par rapport aux axes électriques du cristal, des électrodes recueillent les charges électriques fonction de l'effort. Un circuit électrique associé délivre une tension que l'on peut facilement exploiter. Ce type d'appareil s'adapte bien à la mesure d'efforts rapidement variables. 4, record 1, French, - dynamom%C3%A8tre%20pi%C3%A9zo%C3%A9lectrique
