THE PZA FAMILY

Five paths to a better test brief.

Define the environment first. Each family has a distinct output, mounting and conditioning review.

THE DECISION THAT MATTERS

Does your measurement need DC?

A piezoelectric accelerometer measures changing acceleration. Its charge decays through the measurement chain, so it cannot sustain a true static reading.

A piezoresistive bridge can retain DC response. Excitation, zero offset, thermal drift and shock bandwidth still need a separate review.
