Steam turbines and generators sit at the heart of plant availability – and the cost of uncertainty is rising. Ageing fleets, cycling duty, tighter operating margins and shorter outage windows all drive the same requirement: earlier detection of developing issues…
Automotive development is under sustained pressure to deliver faster correlation and higher confidence test data across NVH, powertrain electrification, and durability / Road Load Data Acquisition (RLDA) programmes. In that context, teams increasingly need sensors that are small, rugged, stable…
The rapid transition to high-voltage (HV) architectures in electric vehicles (EVs) has introduced a critical challenge for test engineers: how to measure mechanical durability safely in environments reaching up to 2,000 VDC. As battery packs and drive systems become more…
Why rotor telemetry matters Rotor faults can escalate quickly and can be difficult to diagnose with stationary-only measurements. Rotor telemetry provides a practical route to continuous monitoring, enabling rotor-side measurements to be transmitted to a stationary receiver—without slip rings—supporting earlier…
Meet us at IMechE’s EV Batteries 2025 – a key event on battery testing, safety and durability. PCB Piezotronics is proud to sponsor the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ EV Batteries: Electrified Vehicle Engineering 2025 conference, taking place at the British…
If your e‑powertrain endurance rig is tripping on vibration thresholds with the inverter energised, don’t blame the accelerometer first. In real rigs, the dominant EMI path is often the cable/connector, not the sensor mounting point. Your internal ground shows broadband…
PCB Piezotronics attended Cenex Expo 2025 at UTAC Millbrook. The program again put design, engineering and test center‑stage, with dedicated sessions on batteries, simulation and validation. Three talking points stood out for battery R&D and validation this quarter: Battery Testing:…
The Endevco® 7262A is a rugged, gas‑damped, DC‑response piezoresistive accelerometer with amplified output. It is engineered for long‑duration transient shocks and high‑level events common to EV powertrain abuse tests, sled/impact studies, and aerospace component/LRU qualification. A compact, epoxy‑sealed body with…
In aircraft component and LRU qualification, long harness runs and proximity to switching power electronics make cable‑borne EMI the silent spoiler. Even with ground‑isolated or case‑isolated sensors, spectra can be corrupted if the shield path is discontinuous or bonded via…
Boost efficiency, reduce cost and mitigate risk with PCB Piezotronics. Hermetically sealed low‑outgassing accelerometers and cables, three‑component force sensors, and 1U–3U fixtures/shakers enable reliable, accurate, repeatable in‑house vibration testing for space‑ready performance. Why it matters System overview Core components for…
