PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMIC BIMORPH

By bonding two piezoelectric ceramic panels together and applying an AC voltage to them, alternately one element elongates while the other contracts causing curved vibrations to take place. Conversely by bending it AC voltage can be extracted. This is called a Bimorph Armature and it possesses frequency characteristics in the audible range. It can be used as an phonograph record pickup, microphone, vibration sensor, ultrasonic remote control etc..
