Piezo components, such as piezoelectric rings, piezoelectric tubes, and piezo bending actuators, offer many benefits in medical applications. The benefits of piezoelectricity are being increasingly
Piezoelectric transducers are components that can convert any form of pressure or mechanical stress into electrical energy, and vice versa. To understand the applications and possibilities
Piezoelectric Stack Actuators Piezo elements are materials that can produce an electric charge when deformed. On the other hand, these elements conversely expand or contract
What are Multilayer Piezoelectric Actuators? Multilayer piezoelectric actuators, also known as stack actuators, are exactly what they sound like – it’s a stack of multiple
In the last decade, piezoelectric bimorph applications worldwide have expanded dramatically. A new class of miniature, highly-specialized instruments, alarms and sound production devices, requiring very
What are Piezoelectric Bimorphs? Piezoelectric bimorphs, as the name suggests, involve two separate pieces of piezoelectric ceramic put together in such a way that when
What are Piezoelectric Transducers? Transducers are devices that convert one form of energy into another and can be categorized into many different kinds. Sensors and
The Growing Piezoelectric Industry The piezoelectric effect isn’t something most are familiar with despite its prevalence in technology. Ask someone how their printer works, and
What are Piezoelectric Sensors? Piezoelectric sensors are piezo elements that convert environmental conditions into readable and usable electrical signals. There are two types: active and
