A sensor that generates an electric signal that varies with the pressure applied to the piezoelectric material it contains, i.e. a piece of quartz cut in a specific way, and that therefore allows the detection of objects, the measurement of physical quantities or the reproduction of phenomena. 2, record 1, English, - piezo%2Dquartz%20sensor

Piezo-quartz sensors. The working principle of the selected Lineas-sensor ... is based on the piezo-electrical characteristics of the quartz used in the sensor. When force is applied to the quartz in the sensor, it generates an electrical signal that is proportional to the magnitude of applied force. 3, record 1, English, - piezo%2Dquartz%20sensor
