The name ''"PCB"'' is abbreviation for "[[Coulomb|PicoCoulomB]]" which is [[technical terminology]] defining an electrical charge of the type generated by the [[piezoelectric]] sensors they manufacture. "Piezotronics" combines the science of Piezoelectricity and electronics. [http://www.pcb.com PCB] manufactures sensors and related instrumentation. Sensors are small electromechanical instruments for the measurement of acceleration, dynamic pressure, force, acoustics, torque, load, strain, shock, vibration and sound.
Founded by Robert W. Lally and [http://www.pcb.com/About/history James F. Lally] in 1967, PCB Piezotronics has evolved from a family business to a large company engineering and manufacturing operation, with technical emphasis on the incorporation of integrated circuit-piezoelectric sensor technology. In 1967, these ICP* sensors ([[integrated circuit piezoelectric sensor]]),
The 1970s for PCB Piezotronics saw expansion of its standard product offerings, to include other types of sensor technologies. In 1971, the company developed a 100,000 g high-shock, ICP* quartz accelerometer; Impulse Hammers for structural excitation were developed in 1972; and in 1973, the first rugged, industrial-grade ICP* accelerometer was introduced to serve the emerging machinery health monitoring market. Employment grew to 25 employees. By 1975, PCB had become one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of [[piezoelectric sensors]].
