Design Assistance from APC International |
|
APC is excited to either assist you with the design and assembly of piezo sensors or to contract manufacture sensors to your existing designs. APC's team of application engineers will also work with you to review your piezoelectric sensor designs to determine if APC can reduce your assembly costs or improve the quality of your piezo sensor.
APC offers four piezoelectric materials for use in sensing applications and three hard PZTs for use in high power applications: APC 850, APC 854, APC 855, and porous APC 860 materials are soft and typically used in sensing applications. APC 850 is generally the material of choice for most of these applications. It has the best overall combination of properties and should be the first material to try for sensing applications. APC 854 and APC 855 offer higher sensitivities, with a few limitations. They have lower use temperatures, higher dielectric constants and higher dissipation factors. APC 860 boasts a reduced acoustic impedance (50% of standard dense PZT) for (when optimized) higher efficiency and better matching to low impedance mediums.
APC 840, APC 880, and APC 841 materials are typically used in high power and SONAR applications. With quality factors of 500, 1000, and 1500 respectively, there is a hard PZT for almost every application.

APC International Earns ISO-9001:2015 Certification Renewal!!!! |
|
APC International underwent the tri-annual ISO re-certification process near the end of 2021. When asked how the audit went, Jenn Baker, APC International Quality Manager, simply stated, "When you live the QMS, an audit is just like any other day."
Jenn steered APC International though the re-certification audit with ZERO non-conformances.
