If the crystal is pushed toward the diaphragm like a tiny speaker cone, it will generate a pressure wave, which the human ear will pick up as sound. Frequency ranges of 2kHz to 4kHz are most easily heard by human beings, and most piezo buzzers are designed in this frequency range. Just change the frequency of the voltage sent to the piezo and it will start to produce sound by quickly changing its shape,. Piezo buzzers have two technologies.
The first type is node support method. It is to fix the buzzer piece of the piezo buzzer in a ring structure approximately the same size as the diameter of the ceramic piece. If the resonant cavity is properly designed, being matched with the correct frequency of the feedback buzzer and the positive feedback circuit, then the correct frequency and greater sound pressure can be generated. The node support method is pupular in self-drive buzzers.
The second type is edge support method. It is to fix the edge of the outer diameter of the buzzer of the piezo buzzer in the resonant cavity.
This method is generally a non-feedback buzzer, and it must be matched with the frequency of the resonant cavity to have a relatively high sound pressure output. An external oscillator circuit must generate a driving signal to make the buzzer sound. The piezo buzzer produces sound waves from the oscillation of the piezoelectric diaphragm via sound emission hole, so it is not sealed from the environment.
Therefore, do not close the sound emitting hole and ensure no obstacle within 15mm from the sound emitting hole on the front side of the casing; avoid compressed air blown onto the piezo buzzer, this may cause deformation of the piezo buzzer or cracking of the piezo ceramic, resulting in unstable sound.
Over this time we have developed a strong reputation as a supplier of high quality product and excellent customer service. Our miniature speaker range is extensive focusing on speakers up to 70mm diameter. We supply mylar speakers and paper cone speakers, 4ohm, 8ohm, 16ohm and 32ohm. We are able to offer customised options, for example, fitting leads with connectors to standard speakers if required.
Our website enables you to search by diameter, rated impedance, cone material, shape and mounting option. Audio Indicators Audio transducers Piezo elements. There is a wide range of product available and the search criteria on our website helps to narrow down the options.
For assistance with your selection, please contact us. We will be happy to help. We supply piezo transducers and miniature speakers to OEM, sub-contract and main line distribution customers.
Applications include:. To conclude, the choice between a buzzer and speaker is largely down to the sound output you require for your application. A simple buzz tone for an alert or user interface recognition can be achieved using a sounder. For music or voice reproduction, miniature speakers should be considered. Alan Butcher Components is able to assist in the selection process so please visit our website, give us a call or drop us an email. Buzzer vs Speaker. Buzzers and Sounders ABC.
What is a buzzer? What is a speaker? How does a buzzer work? How they work is explained in simple terms below: Piezo buzzer - contains a piezo ceramic element which moves up and down when a voltage is applied. How does a speaker work?
