  1. Thanks Hero999. Can you tell me where I can find these types of transformers?

    It's not a standard part. Most transformers have mains voltage primary (typically 110V or 230V) not 24V.

    This transformer is used in a control card of a weaving machine. Also, is there a way to know which pins correspond to which secondary? I mean which secondary is rated to which current? All I know about this transformer is 1-2 is primary, 3-4 no pins, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 are three secondary windings.

    Yes, it should be easy to measure them with a multimeter: the secondary with the highest current rating should have the lowest DC resistance.
  2. The same basic blocking oscillator circuit, normally used to drive a flyback transformer, can also drive a centre tapped or dual primary mains transformer.

    Here's an example of a capacitor charger using a mains transformer with a centre tapped primary. It should be able to drive a voltage multiplier circuit.

  3. A voltage multiplier developes a DC voltage from the positive or negative cycle. The input is capacitvely coupled and the sinewave has this DC offset. A squarewave cannot be coupled with a capacitor, so the output is this DC offset when not in transition.

    The piezo needs to be driven by a 100Hz square wave.

    How can a voltage multiplier circuit (which will convert this to DC) possibly work?

    If the signal generator had enough current capability (it doesn't) a simple step-up transformer would work but that's not an option here. An amplifier is required, which means a separate 100V supply voltage.
