Specifications

MFC P2 type – Piezo Electric Harvester (PEH) Patches

The MFCs are based on piezo electric fibers and are environmentally sealed, which yields increased flexibility and robustness compared with standard, monolithic piezo ceramic harvesters.

Due to the piezo fiber design of the P2 type MFCs, the MFC piezo harvester has a preferred direction for coupling strain into the device for energy generation. The preferred strain direction (compression) is parallel to the fiber axis. The fiber axis is parallel to the length of the respective MFC model, as listed in the table below.
