Piezoelectric transducer accelerometer
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A piezoelectric transducer for accelerometer and vibration measurement studies which comprises:
- a cylindrical casing forming a seismic mass and formed with an internal thread at one end and an axially extending externally threaded tubular stem at an opposite end, said stem forming one pole for electrical connection to the transducer;
a pin extending from said one end of said casing axially and formed within said casing with a disk, a face of said disk confronting a face of said casing at said other end but spaced therefrom;
a pair of piezoelectric rings respectively abutting said faces and having parts of the same polarity turned toward one another;
a contact bolt extending axially from said other end of said casing, insulated relative to said other end of said casing by an insulating bushing, and formed within said casing with an annular flange disposed between the parts of the same polarity whereby said contact bolt forms a second pole for electrical connection to the transducer;
a gasket threaded into said casing at said one end, said pin extending through said gasket; and
a spring member braced against said gasket and urging said disk against said rings.

Abstract
A piezoelectric transducer for use in accelerometer or vibration measurements comprises a seismic mass in the form of a casing which receives a pair of piezoelectric rings sandwiching between them a flange of a contact pin which extends axially from one end of the casing and is insulated with respect to this end by an insulating bushing. A threaded member of the casing forms one terminal of the transducer while the contact pin forms the other terminal. The rings are braced against a disk of another pin extending axially in the opposite direction from the casing and a spring is braced against this disk and a gasket threaded into the casing.
