Mounting the DuraAct Patch Transducer
The E-821.EHD kit contains two P-876 DuraAct patch transducers in different integration states to offer you
greatest flexibility for mounting:
•

One single patch transducer for gluing on a surface (P-876.A12)

•

One patch transducer glued on a plate which must be clamped (P-876KEHD)

Irrespective of the kind of mounting, the bending radius must not be less than 20 mm for the P-876.A12
DuraAct patch transducers.

Gluing a P-876.A12 Patch Transducer on a Surface
Recommended adhesive: two-component epoxy


Roughen the surfaces before gluing.



Make sure to glue the complete surface.

Clamping the P-876KEHD Plate


Chamfer the ends of the clamping bar which point to the plate to avoid a notch effect, see figure below.



Clamp the plate at the short end as near as possible to the DuraAct patch transducer, see figure below.
•

Clamping depth: minimum 10 mm

•

Clamping width: 35 mm (i.e. clamping over the complete width of the plate)

Connecting the Patch Transducer to the E-821.00 Module for Energy Harvesting
For each DuraAct patch transducer, a K040B0428 cable with 2-pin Molex PicoBlade socket and open wires is
included in the scope of delivery.


Solder the two open wires of the K040B0428 cable to the two solder points of the DuraAct patch
transducer. Any assignment is possible due to the non-polarized (AC) output of the DuraAct patch
transducer (is rectified by the E-821.00 module).



After soldering, it is recommended to cover the solder points on the DuraAct patch transducer with
electrical tape.



Connect the DuraAct patch transducer to the E-821.00 module via the 2-pin Molex PicoBlade socket.

Connecting the Electrical Load to the E-821.00 Module for Energy Harvesting
For the connection of the electrical load (in short form: „load“; i.e. the consumer) to the E-821.00 module, the
K040B0429 cable with 4-pin Molex PicoBlade socket and open wires is included in the scope of delivery. With
the K040B0429 cable, the load is supplied by the Vout output voltage of the E-821.00 module.
Example for a load: low-power microcontroller
 Solder the two open wires of the K040B0429 cable to the load. Respect the output polarity indicated by
the wire color:



Pin

Color

GND

Black

Red

Connect the load to the E-821.00 module via the 4-pin Molex PicoBlade socket.

Note: If the load requires a supply voltage higher than Vout, you can use the Vc output voltage instead of Vout. In
this case, make sure that the load is switched on/off using the signal provided by the Ready pin of the E-821.00
module to avoid unwanted discharge of the capacitor. You have to design a custom cable for connection to the
Vc and Ready pins of the E-821.00 module.

Operation
To generate an input voltage for the E-821.00 module and thus charge the capacitor, the DuraAct patch
transducer must be mechanically deformed by force applied with tension or pressure (“excitation”). The bending
radius must not be less than 20 mm for the P-876.A12 DuraAct patch transducers.
For the power output of the E-821.00 as a function of the excitation conditions see the whitepaper in the
appendix of this Technical Note. Note that the measurements described in the whitepaper were made with a P876.A12 glued to a plate which was more flexible than the plate used for P-876KEHD in the scope of delivery.


Perform a first test without load. For this test, use the P-876KEHD combination of DuraAct patch
transducer and plate:
1. Make sure that the plate is clamped as described on p. 2.
2. Make sure that the DuraAct patch transducer is connected to the 2-pin connector of the E-821.00
module as described above.
3. Connect an oscilloscope to the Vout pin of the E-821.00 module.
4. Excite the DuraAct patch transducer by tipping the plate or picking at the plate with your fingers at
least 10 times. After at least 10 excitation cycles, the oscilloscope should measure 3.3 V for at least
5 s (output duration can be influenced by the input impedance of the measurement device).
Note that the Vout voltage is output by the E-821.00 module only if the charge state of the capacitor is
sufficient (switching the output on/off is based on an internal threshold).

The following reasons can cause the test to fail (i.e. no voltage can be measured):
o

Number of excitation cycles is too low.

o

Force applied for mechanical deformation is too low.

If the test without load was successful but supplying a load fails, the load may be too high.

The E-821.00 module can be adapted to your application as follows:
•

Change the Vout output voltage to 1.8 V or 5.0 V as described on p. 3

•

If a different input voltage range is necessary, contact your PI Ceramic sales engineer for appropriate
modification of the E-821.00 module.

To dimension an energy harvesting system correctly, all important boundary conditions must be known and taken into account. The principle
itself is simple: Ambient vibrations produce a charge separation in the
piezoceramic DuraAct transducer. The electronic circuitry in the E-821
module then ensures a sufficiently stable output voltage that can be
adjusted to the load.

avoid batteries and the maintenance effort required.

When a piezo crystal mechanically deforms as a result
of a force applied with tension or pressure, charges are
generated which can be measured as a voltage on the
electrodes of the piezo element (Fig. 2), a phenomenon
known as the direct piezo effect.

complexity. A typical example for this is so-called health

A universal energy harvesting solution does not exist,
because the energy excitation conditions differ from
application to application. Figure 3 shows the construction in principle.

Further interesting fields for energy harvesting are data
monitoring and transmission in heating and air conditioning technology. If vehicle vibrations are used for
energy generation, products can be continuously monitored during transport without the corresponding sensors having to be connected up or equipped with batteries. This is useful if temperatures have to be recorded

There are many applications where the energy generated by energy harvesting from the environment is
sufficient and can be used in a worthwhile way.

gether with their contacts. This mechanically preloads
the brittle ceramic while electrically insulating it at the
same time. The mechanical preloading extends the
loading limits of the ceramic so it can also be applied to
curved surfaces, for example. At the same time the
compact design including the insulation makes it easier
for the user to handle; it is even possible to embed the
patch transducer in a composite material.
The patch transducers ideally have a symmetrical structure, i.e. when the transducer is bent, the same quantity
of charge with opposite sign is generated on both electrode surfaces; it would not be possible to measure a
potential difference. This makes it necessary to bond
the transducer onto a substrate (e.g. aluminum, CRP or

structure. Charges can now be generated by fixing the
bender at the edge and displacing it, the charges being
proportional to the stresses or strains introduced into
the ceramic to a first approximation.

This showed that every transducer in the test had a
different electrical load range with optimum power output (Fig. 6). The bender structure with the DuraAct P876.A12 provides the greatest power output under the

Conclusion
The results here show as an example how ambient
energy can be converted to electrical energy and then
be used to supply a corresponding consumer under
specific conditions.
There is no general energy harvesting solution that
serves all purposes. The design of the piezoelectric
transducer, the electronics and the kind of excitation
used substantially determine the outcome and need to
be matched individually for a certain task.

If one varies the capacitor, it is possible to match the
electronics to the power requirement of the load. The
output voltage of the test electronics can be flexibly
adjusted between 1.8 and 5 V. Due to the repeating
phases of “charging” (w), “storing”, “energy output”,
“charging” this solution is particularly suitable for applications which do not have a continuous power requirement, e.g. in wireless sensor networks where the
charge is generated and stored in measurement breaks
and the energy is retrieved for the measurement and
data transmission.
If the piezo transducer, the mechanical system and the
electronics are matched to each other so as to take
account of the application-specific boundary conditions,
piezo-based energy harvesting can be a practical way
of supplying energy in many other applications as well.
