PICA™-Stack Piezoceramic Translators — Versatile Piezoelectric Linear Motion (HVPZT)
Ultra-High Reliability, High Displacement, Low Power Requirements
PICA™-Stack translators 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™ piezoelectric translator 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.
Short Leadtime, Standard & Custom Designs Because all piezoelectric materials used in PICA™ piezoelectric translators are manufactured at PI Ceramic, leadtimes are short and quality is outstanding. All standard and custom PICA™-Stack actuators are delivered with performance test sheets.
Application examples:
Nanopositioning, High-load positioning, Precision mechanics, Semiconductor manufacturing and testing,
Laser tuning, Switching, Smart structures (adaptronics).
