This sensor uses a piezoelectric polymer film and a charge amplifier. As the piezo film is displaced from the mechanical neutral axis, bending creates very high strain within the piezopolymer and therefore high voltages are generated. When the assembly is deflected by direct contact, the device acts as a flexible "switch". If the assembly is supported by its contacts and left to vibrate "in free space" the device will behave as a form of vibration sensor. Comes with a 60cm sensor cable
