Product Description
Ultrasonic Transducers are devices that convert electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibrations (ultrasonic waves) and vice versa. These devices are widely used in various applications, such as medical imaging, cleaning, material testing, and distance measurement.
The basic design of an ultrasonic transducer consists of a piezoelectric element sandwiched between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, the piezoelectric element contracts and expands rapidly, producing ultrasonic waves. Conversely, when ultrasonic waves are incident on the transducer, they cause the piezoelectric element to vibrate, generating an electrical signal. The frequency of the ultrasonic waves produced or detected by the transducer depends on the thickness of the piezoelectric element and the applied voltage.
Ultrasonic transducers are available in various configurations, including single-element and array transducers. Single-element transducers are simpler and less expensive, but they have limited directional sensitivity and may require mechanical scanning to obtain images. Array transducers, on the other hand, consist of multiple elements arranged in a specific pattern, allowing for electronic steering and focusing of the ultrasonic beam. This makes them more versatile and suited for applications such as medical imaging and non-destructive testing.
