VIBRATION DAMPENING Midé’s vibration energy harvesters convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Because of this piezoelectric effect, Midé’s piezo products are taking mechanical energy out of the system and providing electrical power to a sensing system. Thus Midé’s energy harvesters can not only harvest otherwise unused energy, it can also prolong the life of the mechanical system the energy is harvested from by dampening vibrations. If vibration dampening is all that is desired from the piezo, a shunt circuit can be utilized to dissipate the harvested mechanical energy into heat and/ or a magnetic field. Thus, through the use of the piezoelectric, the mechanical energy in the system is passively dampened. Vibration dampening test data is coming soon.

In applications where wafer, and the effective capacitance will be double the single-wafer the piezo is being used as a sensor or harvester, compressing value. For most applications, parallel connection is recommended. the piezo through the thickness (bending upward, “out of the Regardless of series or parallel connection, the power generated page”) will result in a positive voltage to the “Bottom (+)” pad. by the Volture™ Energy Harvester will be the same. The opposite is true if applying a negative voltage. SOLDER The recommended electrical connection method is to solder directly to the two copper pads on the pack for most of these products. Please note that the PPA-1001 has steel pads which are not designed for soldering. Please practice safe soldering techniques and be sure to apply some electrical tape or insulating epoxy over the connections to prevent them from shorting to one another or person.

In this configuration the piezo pack would lay on top of the PCB with the brass bolts bringing connection down through the PCB to the underside of the board where a conductive nut would be used to secure the bolt. This nut would electrically connect to the large pads on the underside of the board. Proper mounting torque of 1 N-m (8.85 in-lb) should be used.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IC HOOK AND ALLIGATOR CLIPS IC hooks can be used for quick connection to all of these products but the hook can become disconnected rather easily. The PPA- 1001 product has raised bumps that enables connection with an alligator clip. Alligator clips are difficult to connect with for the other products. Figure 59: Simple alligator clips and/or IC hooks can be used for quick and simple testing. These are not advisable as long term connection solutions. CONNECTORS Midé can include a connector with each unit but this involves a custom design. Some of Midé’s previous QuickPack and Volture products had connectors similar to these Flat Flex Cable Connectors. Midé has also utilized the flex circuit to design in a flat flex cable to be plugged directly into a ZIF connector. If a built in connector or some other alternative electrical termination method is desired, a custom solution can be designed. There will be an NRE of over $2K for such a design.

CLAMPING/MOUNTING The PPA-1001 does not have the same configuration as the other products and thus only can utilize two of the clamp locations as shown in Figure 64. To mount the PPA product, press the back edge of the beam against the alignment pins so that they are tangent. Midé also recommends that a layer of electrical tape be placed over the contacts pads on the PPA-1001. The PPA-5002 clamp bar is conductive so great care should be made to ensure that it does not short out the two contact pads. Figure 65: Clamping the piezo products is possible with two recessed nuts, two M3 12mm bolts, two PPA-5002 clamp bars and the PPA-5001 clamp base. Figure 64: The PPA-1001 only utilizes the Clamp 0 and Clamp 6 locations. CAUTION: Over tightening the bolts could damage the piezo� CAUTION: The PPA-1001 cannot be clamped in the Clamp Most applications that require these piezo products will have heavy -6 location. Failure to put electric tape over the contact vibration either from the piezos or environmental vibration that the pads of the product can result in the PPA-5002 clamp bar piezos are sensing/harvesting from. Vibration can often loosen shorting the piezo. This can damage the drive electronics bolts over time which is why threadlocker is included with each and/or result in no output for energy harvesting or sensing kit. This threadlocker is reusable for testing and evaluation; but for applications areas. long term testing Midé suggests a more permanent threadlocker solution. It is imperative to use some form of threadlocker or the boundary conditions at the clamp or tip mass can change with CLAMPING INSTRUCTIONS time which will result in a change of performance over time.

M3 bolts or 4-40 bolts can be used for clamping (follow clamp instructions presented in Section 4.1.3). INSERT 3 EQUATIONS There are three half circles meant to be used with M2 dowel pins (5/64” can also be used) to properly align the edge of the clamp with the piezo. This clamps at the “0 Clamp” location; if a different clamp location is needed, contact Midé for more information. Let’s use an example where we would like to tune the PPA-2011 product to 60 Hz. Referencing the resonant frequency range plot (included again in Figure 73) we can see that each of the three clamp locations can be tuned to 60 Hz. We decide to use the Clamp 0 location because we know Clamp -6 provides little strain in the piezo and the Clamp 6 location requires much more tip mass than Clamp 0. Referencing the effective stiffness and mass from the product’s specifications we calculate the required tip mass as shown, which comes to 3.4 grams. ANOTHER EQUATION Figure 72: The PPA-5004 clamp is a low profile clamp solution for designing directly into the end system. TUNING To ensure the most efficient energy harvesting (or tip deflection) it is essential to tune the piezo beam’s natural frequency to match that of the vibrating source (or drive frequency). Tuning is performed in one of two ways: changing the clamp position, or adding/subtracting tip mass. Each of the PPA products include at least one hole at the tip so that tip masses can be adequately secured and in a repeatable location. 54 of 64 REVISION No. 001 | DATE: 12-05-2015 | Web: www.mide.com | Contact Form: mide.com/contact-us

CLAMPING/MOUNTING or some other adhesive once the tip mass has been added so that the mass doesn’t come dislodged during operation. Midé encourages you to get creative with how tip mass is added. Sometimes asymmetric loading can be beneficial because it results in a twisting mode which can induce more strain in the piezo. Use the PPA-5003 tip mass mounting accessory for more customization and control on modal shapes and resonances. Please share your configuration with Midé and other customers! DETERMINING THE CHARAC- TERISTICS OF THE VIBRATION SOURCE Each of the PPA products can be used as a sensor and the easiest way to measure the frequency and amplitude of the vibration source is to connect the output from the piezo to an oscilloscope.

The easiest way to perform this type of tuning is to properly mount and clamp the product to a rigid structure.

TESTING METHODS TESTING METHODS Detailed explanation on how the experimental data was gathered which was used to generate all presented performance data. ENERGY HARVESTING Energy harvesting calculations were performed for each piezoelectric product using the simple electric power equation P = VI, where V is the voltage generated by the piezo and I is the load current through the circuit. In order to measure these electric parameters in a vibration environment, a simple experimental setup using a close-looped electromagnetic shaker, a variable potentiometer and two digital multimeters were used to determine the overall power of each piezo at various acceleration values (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g). The piezo is loaded into the product harness with the clamping bars in the middle clamp location. Using a custom interface piece, the product harness was then mounted to the shaker Figure 74: The power output of a piezo energy harvester can be such that the piezo would deflect in the same direction as the optimized by adjusting the resistance/current/voltage as shown shaker vibrates (i.e. vertically towards the ceiling/floor). First and for testing on one of the products. The optimal resistance level foremost, the piezo terminals were hooked up to a multimeter is included for each test condition on all products. and RMS open-circuit voltage was measured at each g level This test was performed for all products in the middle clamp tested. The shaker swept through dwells of various frequencies location, at 0.25, 0.5, 1, & 2 g accelerations for no tip mass, until the resonance frequency of the piezo at each g level was full tip mass, and a 60 Hz resonance tip mass. The peak to peak obtained. This frequency was then used for each product. This displacement of the piezo for each test was also measured by a was repeated for various amounts of tip mass (i.e. none, full, laser sensor to determine the mechanical displacement experienced and mass that generated a 60 Hz resonance). After obtaining at each g level with varying tip masses. This allows for greater resonance frequency, the circuit was adjusted to measure RMS insight to the strain experienced by the piezo. current in order to obtain power. From one of the piezo terminals, a multimeter was connected in STATIC DEFECTION/BLOCK series with one leg of the potentiometer in order to measure RMS FORCE current. The other leg of the potentiometer was connected to the second piezo terminal by means of another electrical lead. The At very low frequencies piezo products experience quasi-static second multimeter was connected to both legs of the potentiometer deformations that can be used in actuator applications. In order to measure the RMS voltage across the potentiometer. The shaker to measure the performance of each piezo as a quasi-static was run again at resonance frequency while current and voltage actuator, each piezo was powered at 100V and fed a 0.1 and 1 Hz were measured by the multimeters. The potentiometer resistance frequency to measure the block force and quasi-static deflection, was changed while the shaker vibrated in order to determine the respectively, of each piezo. With these measurements a range of load resistance that generated maximum power. The resistance static actuator applications applicable to each product can be value was then calculated using Ohm’s Law. See Figure 74 for determined. This test was repeated for all three clamp locations an example on how load affects the power output from the piezo. on the piezo mounting harness.

TESTING METHODS 15 V with signal wires connected to a multimeter. With a small An electromagnetic shaker was programmed to run a frequency frequency (0.1 Hz) applied by the function generator, the piezo sweep at 2g acceleration with 10 second dwells events at each would press on the load cell resulting in a voltage readout from of the frequencies chosen for testing. This allowed a constant the multimeter. This voltage was recorded as the force applied by acceleration and sweep of frequencies to be applied to each piezo the piezo and was then converted into mechanical force (N, oz.) while still being able to measure the output voltage of each product. Each product was clamped in a mounting harness and then Each piezo was clamped and bolted down to a mounting fixture fixed to an XY table for positioning underneath a displacement along the axis of vibration of the shaker.

The laser focal point was placed on a corner of piezo were connected to a multimeter for measurement and the free tip on the piezo for maximum deflection measurement. had voltage measured from it across the sweep, at resonance The piezo was driven at 1 Hz at 100 V. An oscilloscope was used frequency and at the two frequencies representing the upper and to read the deflection as a sinusoidal voltage wave, which was lower bounds of the half power bandwidth. The data from the then converted to linear displacement (8*V [V] = d [mm]). sweep was analyzed and a range experiencing nearly constant sensitivity was determined (starting at 13 Hz and ending at the FREQUENCY SWEEP frequency that exceeded +3dB from the nominal sensitivity). In order to determine the functionality of each product as an actuator, a sweep of electrical signals at various frequencies was applied to each product at 100V (determined as the upper threshold for safe operating voltage). The mechanical deflection and current draws at each frequency were recorded. These recordings identify the performance output and natural frequency of each product. The test was repeated for all three clamp locations with and without the tip mass end loaded. A function generator was hooked up to an amplifier in order to supply a steady 100V (RMS = 71V), as well as to allow a wide range of frequencies to be signaled through the leads of the piezos. With a multimeter in series, AC draw (mA) from each piezos was measured at frequencies ranging between 10 – 800 Hz. Each product was clamped in the PPA-5001 Clamp Base (more information in Section 4.1) and then fixed to an XY table for positioning underneath a displacement measuring laser. The laser focal point was placed on a corner of the free tip on the piezo for maximum deflection measurement. An oscilloscope was used to read the deflection as a sinusoidal voltage wave and then be converted to linear displacement. SENSITIVITY/POWER BAND- WIDTH The sensitivity testing was run to understand how each piezo would behave when put in a sensor application, such as an accelerometer. Sensitivity (V/g) was determined by exposing each piezo to 2g acceleration at frequencies between 10 & 1000 Hz and had its open-circuit voltage measured at each frequency. 60 of 64 REVISION No. 001 | DATE: 12-05-2015 | Web: www.mide.com | Contact Form: mide.com/contact-us

The piezo is not tuned to the frequency of the Tune the piezo by changing the clamp location and/or vibrating source. adding tip mass as detailed in Section 4. The drive voltage may be too low Check the drive voltage to ensure it is properly amplified. Piezos need close to 100 volts to move an adequate amount. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. How does a piezoelectric actuator create motion and/or is achieved by adjusting the clamp position and/or the tip mass. create an electric signal? Adding tip mass will reduce the resonant frequency. Lengthening the beam by moving the clamp location will also reduce the Some materials exhibit what is called the piezoelectric effect, which resonance. The opposite is true for both as well.

4.How much current is required to drive a piezo actuator? 7. Can my piezo energy harvester harvest energy from shock/ impact events? For many purposes, the electrical behavior of an actuator can be approximated by that of a simple capacitor. When the actuator Yes, when a piezo beam is excited with a shock or impact event is driven with a sinusoidal voltage, the required current can be the beam will oscillate at its own resonant frequency but quickly found from the equation: I=(2πf)CV where I is peak current in (depends on the resonance but within about 2 seconds) dampen amperes, C is capacitance in farads, V is peak drive voltage and out. Midé recommends directly testing the power output for your f is frequency in hertz. The capacitance of each product is listed. given environment and clamp conditions but you can expect as Note that at resonance the current draw can be as much as 20% much as 0.5 mJ of energy to be harvested from a single impact to 50% higher depending on the configuration. event if optimal conditions are met. The following figure provides a typical output from a shock event. One will notice that the initial For static/DC actuation the current draw is very low. The current output is quite large; but it quickly dampens out within a second draw can be calculated from the following equation: I=C dV/dt or two. This dampening coefficient will depend on the harvester, where I is peak current in amperes, C is capacitance in farads, tip mass, and clamp configuration. dV/dt is rate of change of the voltage (V/s). To hold the position, once actuated, the piezo draws very little current. The only current draw needed is to compensate for the very low leakage currents, even in the case of very high loads. This is true even when suddenly disconnected from the electrical source, the charged piezo will slowly discharge the electrical energy and return to the zero position slowly. 5. What is the frequency range the piezo can operate in? Each product must be tuned to a specific frequency for optimal energy harvesting and for the most significant displacement and force output during actuation. This resonant frequency can be adjusted by changing the clamp location and/or changing how much tip mass is on the beam. Each of the products have a wide range of resonant frequencies from as low as 20 Hz up to 500 Hz. But all of these will operate at virtually any frequency in actuation. In energy harvesting it will need at least 2 Hz of motion to produce any electrical current; but it is virtually unlimited in regard to higher frequencies. 8. Can my piezo energy harvester charge a phone or battery? 6. How much power output can I expect? Yes, but over a very long period of time. These harvesters will Midé created an easy to use product selector that, if provided generate at most a few mA of current on the order of 10s of volts. a vibration frequency and amplitude (refer to Section 4.3.3), it For easy math, we’ll assume the harvester generates 5 mA at 20 calculates the expected power output, tip mass required, open volts, or 100 mW of continuous power. Most phones have about circuit voltage, and peak to peak displacement. These calculated 2,500 mAh of storage capacity, similar to a AA battery. Assuming values are meant to only act as a guide in selecting your product the phone or battery is operating at 5 volts, it will take 125 hours and determining feasibility. All of these parameters are impacted (over 5 days) to fully charge the battery or phone. Alternatively, by manufacturing tolerances, clamping, temperature, even the you will need 125 piezo energy harvesters to charge this battery in load applied to the power output. Once an estimate has been one hour. Now these numbers used were very aggressive, where calculated, accurate data can only be confirmed with testing in most applications only have a few milliwatts of power available. the desired environment. In these applications it will take several thousand hours to charge the device or battery. Piezo energy harvesters are better suited for applications that require very little energy such as periodic measurements in health monitoring applications for example. 63 of 64 REVISION No. 001 | DATE: 12-05-2015 | Web: www.mide.com | Contact Form: mide.com/contact-us
