Preface
Recently, with the remarkable advance of electronics
technology, various new products have come into exis-
tence. Until this time, the effect of electronics was seen
most clearly in television, radio and other communications
equipment, but as semiconductor technology, and computer
technology advance, the range of electronics' effect on our
lives has increased dramatically. In particular, sensor
technology and the greater intelligent functions of today's
microcomputers have served as a basis for the trend toward
combining electronics and mechanics into what is called
mechatronics.
It is not merely the equipment itself, however, that has
made all this possible. Within the equipment are highly
sophisticated components with unique functions which can
translate electrical to mechanical energy and mechanical to
electrical energy and which play a large role in today's
equipment modernization and advance. These are
piezoelectric components. This catalog briefly introduces the
basics of piezoelectric ceramics, Murata's piezoelectric
ceramic materials, piezoelectric transducers and other
products.
Please insure the component is thoroughly evaluated in
your application circuit.
In case that the component is not mentioned in our state-
ment, please contact your Murata representative for details.

Molded Underwater Transducer
The molded underwater transducer is often used in fish

finders and depth sounders. It emits an ultrasonic wave into
the water so that the appropriate receiving device can detect
the reflected wave in order to prove for fish or determine
depth. Designed specifically for underwater use, this vibrator
features not only high sensitivity but superior waterproof
performance.The rugged design easily gives excellent
performance even under high water pressure and waves.
Many models are available for use at different frequencies,
input powers, and in a variety of mounts.
!FEATURES

Shock Sensor
Lead Type PKS
The piezoelectric element produces a voltage which is

proportional to the acceleration of an impact or a vibration to
which it is exposed. The shock sensor utilizes piezoelectric
ceramics to convert the energy of impact into a proportional
electrical signal. The piezoelectric shock sensor uses a
"unimorph" diaphragm which consists of a piezoelectric
ceramic disk laminated to a metal disk. The diaphragm is
supported along its circumference in a housing. The sensor
features compact, lightweight design, and is suitable for a wide
range of applications requiring impact and vibration sensing.

Knocking Sensor Elements
The knocking sensor senses abnormal vibrations in an

automobile engine. The sensor provides a feedback signal
to the engine control system to suppress the knocking.
Knocking sensors include a resonant type and a non-
resonant type-both of which use piezoelectric elements.
Murata offers highly-stable piezoelectric elements for use in
knocking sensors which are directly mounted on the engine.
Design emphasis is placed on heat-resistant, stress-
resistant performance to ensure endurance in the harsh
operation environment under the hood. Shape and
dimensions are variable according to customer needs.
!FEATURES
1. Provides output voltage proportional to acceleration of
vibration.
2. Flat frequency response makes these sensors
applicable to any type of engine (for non-resonant type). 5
!APPLICATIONS
Knocking sensors for automobile engines.

Electric Potential Sensor
Every object has its own surface electrical charges or

charges given to it from other objects. These electrical
charges cause the object to have a certain electric potential
with respect to other objects.
The electric potential sensor is designed to measure this
surface potential. there are two major surface potential
detection methods : The field-mill method and the vibrating
capacitance method.
The former method synchronously shuts off the electrical
flux from the object surface and modulates the electric field
incident to the sensing electrode to induce an AC current on
the electrode, proportional to the surface potential (DC).
The latter method forms a capacitance across the surface of
the object and the sensing electrode, and vibrates the
sensing electrode vertically the surface of object to induce !DIMENSIONS
electrical charges which are proportional to the capacitance
and surface potential, thereby obtaining an AC current
proportional to the surface potential (DC). Murata's potential
