PCB Piezotronics

PCB Piezotronics, a division of MTS Systems Corporation, is a globally recognized manufacturer of dynamic measurement sensors based on proprietary ICP® (Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric) technology. Founded in 1967, the company specializes in accelerometers, pressure transducers, force sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and microphones for measuring vibration, shock, pressure, force, and acoustic phenomena across a wide range of industrial and research applications.

ICP® sensors incorporate a built-in microelectronic amplifier and operate from a constant-current source, enabling low-impedance signal transmission over long cable runs without signal degradation. PCB Piezotronics also manufactures MEMS-based accelerometers and high-temperature sensors for specialized applications in aerospace qualification and power generation testing.
