Buzzers => All Basics for Innovation
14-08-2024
In daily life, you are constantly surrounded by sounds: the music from your headphones, the beeping of payment terminals, the hum of traffic, the chirping of birds, or even a lively conversation with a friend.
Often, sound serves as feedback for completed actions, such as confirming a payment, signaling that your coffee is ready, indicating the arrival of an elevator, or alerting you that the dishwasher has finished its cycle. Additionally, sound plays a crucial role in enhancing the user experience in contexts like video conferencing and music listening.
For many applications, a buzzer is sufficient, producing a single sound. However, sometimes a speaker is necessary, as it can produce a range of sounds, including music.
There are two types buzzer the electromagnetic buzzers and piezoelectric buzzers?
The inside of both is a bit different :
The Electromagnetic has an electromagnet (a coil of wire wrapped around a ferromagnetic core) is where the current flow through, the armature is a thin metal diaphragm (or other size) that is close by the magnet. The contacts is to connect the diaphragm and the power source. The Oscillation Mechanism controls the current through the coil which gives a mechanical movement that creates the buzz…
The Piezoelectric Buzzer is a bit different because it uses a ceramic material that makes the vibrations when it needs to buzz, it’s more a way of increasing and decreasing of the material that makes the “noise”
The biggest difference is that Electromagnetic buzzer is driven by a DC current, and the Piezo AC current.
Each application has specific requirements such as size, sound level, maximum input, and IP rating. Products can be customized as needed, including options for longer wires, different connectors, or various connection types.
