Multilayer piezo stack actuators are commonly used for delivering high force generation and precise displacement. Stack piezo elements are manufactured by combining the expansion power of many individual piezo elements to amplify the power. Multilayer stack piezo elements come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including rectangular, ring, and circular stacks. Piezo disc piezo elements deform when a voltage is applied. The most displacement occurs at the center of the disc piezo element, forming a dome or bowl. Piezo discs are extremely small, thin, and lightweight piezo elements, making them very suitable as actuator, sensor, or transducer piezo elements. Piezoelectric strips are thin piezo elements made of one or two layers of active piezo material. These piezo strips bend to create displacement or generate electricity. Piezoelectric atomizers are used for atomizing liquids and fluids. Medical and commercial applications that require precise release of a solution often rely on atomizer piezo elements.   

The fine movement generation afforded by piezo elements is increasingly harnessed everyday, from high precision motion technologies to household commodities. The applications of piezo elements is virtually limitless, and Piezo Direct is dedicated to continuing the exploration of piezoelectric capabilities by delivering top of the line standard piezo element products.
