How to choose a piezo ceramic from STEM Inc (Steiner Martin Inc.)

- STEM Inc. (Steiner Martin Inc.) has been a great resource for me and my clients to purchase piezo ceramics quickly for prototyping. I have been purchasing ceramics from them since 2015 with success and I have also seen other companies having success with their products, especially for development of new ultrasonic transducers.
I love the fact that you can purchase ceramics with an online cart checkout experience. I also think it is an advantage to be limited to the geometry of the ceramic you will purchase, because every project needs some sort of constraint to get started.
In this video, I explain how to choose a ceramic from their website. I go into detail about the different ceramic types and also discuss rings, disks, plates, and more.

This is very interesting. I have been using STEMINC mist generators on spray drying applications since I started my PhD in 2019. I had zero knowledge when I started but now I am building up my knowledge about Piezo elements. Few days ago, I order piezo rings and planning to put them on mesh to produce aerosols. Great thing about STEMINC is they have driver that goes with the type of Piezo you want! Great content and I have learned a lot.
Please Is there a difference in the performance of the piezo ceramic disc used in the dairy analysis sensor between the PZT-5A type and the PZT-5H type, or are they the same performance?

Love your videos!! What do you mean by sensor Vs actuator? Can you define both?
Please can you help us to know the piezo type which use with ultrasonic sensor of milk analyzer machine
Thanks you well presented vidoe on ceramics. I have been your student since you 2015 video, would you please make a video in piezo level sensors especially ones used to measure the level of propane tanks
Thanks so much for being a loyal fan! I will keep this in mind.
I need your help do you have a website
very useful thanks a lot
How do you determine how much voltage is needed to drive the piezo disc? I know you are not connected with this company, but I was curious is you know where to find this info on the site. I didn't see that on the data sheet. I purchased the SMD10T04R111WL PZT Ceramic Disc.
can i make my own piezoelectric transformer using piezo from the buzzer?
Yes, you can do that from a three terminal buzzer. I have a video on that. Search for it on RUclips. It works, but it's far from optimal
Does it produces ultrasound waves or it senese it
Thank you very good video, but I want to ask different question about pizeo ceramic. I bought piezo ceramic STEM Inc (SMC26D22H13111). I want to calculate sensivity.I have read several articles on this topic. I saw a formula consisting of the dimensions of the piezo meterial and its coefficients such as g33 and g31. This formula was to calculate the sensitivity of piezo ceramics. but I think this formula does not reflect the truth. The result obtained as a result of the formula is as follows M0 = 0.12 nV/µPa
(−197.8 dB re 1V/µPa). Is there a formula for obtaining such a result for linear and radial polarization. Can you help with this issue or how to calculate the decibel value, my piezo ceramic is (SMC26D22H13111)? If you want, I can share the article I read with you. Thanks for helping.
