What Is an Ultrasonic Transducer?
An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts electrical energy into ultrasonic waves and vice versa.
In the medical field, these transducers are used for imaging diagnostics, breaking down kidney stones, and cancer treatment. The automotive industry employs them in parking assistance systems for distance measurement and obstacle detection. In manufacturing, ultrasonic transducers facilitate welding, cleaning, and cutting of materials.
They are also pivotal in non-destructive testing, enabling the detection of material flaws or defects without causing damage. This testing is essential in industries like aerospace and civil engineering, where safety standards are stringent.
