PICA™ Power piezoceramic stack actuators are offered in a large variety of standard shapes and sizes, with additional custom designs to suit any application. Based on the PIC 255 material, PICA™ Stack Power actuators are optimized for high-temperature working conditions and high-duty-cycle dynamic applications.
High Displacement with Ultra-High Reliability
PICA™ Power actuators are optimized for high-temperature working conditions and high-duty-cycle dynamic applications.
All PICA™ piezo ceramics are specifically designed for high-duty-cycle applications. With PI's extensive applications knowledge, gained over several decades, performance 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.
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
PI offers a wide range of piezo control electronics, from low-power drivers to the ultra-high-performance E-481 power amplifier delivering 2000 W of dynamic power. For closed-loop positioning applications, a variety of analog and digital controllers is also available. The modular E-500 system can be upgraded from an amplifier to a servo-controller and offers a variety of computer interfaces. Of course, PI also designs custom amplifiers and controllers.
