PICA™ Stack piezo ceramic actuators are offered in a large variety of standard shapes and sizes with additional custom designs to suit any application.
Ultra-High Reliability, High Displacement, Low Power Requirements
PICA™ piezo actuators are specifically designed for high-duty-cycle applications. With our extensive applications knowledge, gained over several decades, we know how to build performance that does not come at the price of reliability. All materials used are specifically matched for robustness and lifetime. Endurance tests on PICA™ actuators prove consistent performance, even after billions (1,000,000,000 ) of cycles. The combination of high displacement and low electrical capacitance provides for excellent dynamic behavior with reduced driving power requirements.
Flexibility / Short Leadtimes
All manufacturing processes at PI Ceramic are set up for flexibility. Should our standard actuators not fit your application, let us provide you with a custom design. Our engineers will work with you to find the optimum solution at a very attractive price, even for small quantities. Some of our custom capabilities are listed below:
- Custom Materials
- Custom Voltage Ranges
- Custom Geometries (Circular, Rectangular, Triangular, Layer Thickness ...)
- Custom Load / Force Ranges
- Custom Flat or Spherical Endplates (Alumina, Glass, Sapphire, ...)
- Extra-Tight Length Tolerances
- Integrated Piezoelectric Sensor Discs
- Special High / Low Temperature Versions
- Vacuum Compatible Versions
Because all piezoelectric materials used in PICA™ actuators are manufactured at PI Ceramic, leadtimes are short and quality is outstanding. All standard and custom actuators are delivered with performance test sheets.
Piezo Drivers, Controllers & High-Voltage Amplifiers
High-resolution amplifiers and servo-control electronics, both digital and analog, are described in the "Piezo Drivers / Servo Controllers" section.
PICA™ Stack piezo actuators are delivered with metal endcaps for improved robustness and reliability.
