AEI602.38 3
Piezo- electric Ultrasonic Generator…

• An arrangment of piezo-electric ultrasonic generator


using Hartley oscillator is shown in fig 8.10

AEI602.38 4
Piezo- electric Ultrasonic Generator…

• Piezo-electric crystals are cut in the Y-Z plane and


mounted in between two metal plate electrodes to form
an integral unit.

• A crystal may be conveniently set in vibration by simply


placing it in parallel with the oscillatory circuit of any
electronic oscillator

AEI602.38 5
Piezo- electric Ultrasonic Generator…

• The oscillator frequency is adjusted to equal the natural


frequency of oscillation of the crystal.

• The amplitude of ultrasonic vibrations produced in that


case will be proportional to the voltage applied to it.

AEI602.38 6
Piezo- electric Ultrasonic Generator…

• A spark gap is produced across the crystal plates to


safeguard the crystal from the possible voltage surge.

• Thus piezoelectric ultrasonic generator produces


ultrasonic frequency.
