PCB Piezotronics, Inc.

PCB Piezotronics, Inc. manufactures sensors that measure vibration, pressure, force, acoustics, load, strain, shock and torque for research, development, testing and industrial monitoring. The company was founded in 1967 near Buffalo, New York and is headquartered at 3425 Walden Avenue, Depew, New York. Its ICP (Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric) technology builds the piezoelectric element and an amplifier into one housing, and the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation.

Products

• Accelerometers, including high temperature, cryogenic, shock and low outgassing types
• Pressure transducers, including blast and ballistic sensors
• Microphones and sound level meters
• Force, strain and torque sensors, load cells (general purpose low profile and fatigue rated) and impact hammers
• Shakers, telemetry systems and wireless vibration monitoring systems
• Signal conditioners, including line-powered multi-channel, battery powered, in-line charge converter and USB types
• Industrial vibration monitoring sensors and cables

Aerospace testing

PCB sensors are used to test electric, hydrogen and conventionally powered military and commercial aircraft. The site lists aerodynamic and aero-acoustic testing, gas turbine testing, aerospace flutter and ground vibration testing, dynamic pressure testing, ground and flight testing, and health and usage monitoring (HUMS). In 2019 PCB acquired the Endevco test and measurement product line, adding aircraft testing sensors.
