PICMA® High-Performance Monolithic Multilayer Piezoelectric Actuators (LVPZT)
Ultra-High Reliability, High Displacement, Low Power Requirements
Optimized PZT Ceramics, New Production Process
Application examples:
PICMA® (PI Ceramic Monolithic Actuator) Piezoelectric actuators are characterized by their high performance
and reliability, even in extremely harsh environments. They are superior to conventional multilayer actuators in industrial
applications and high-endurance situations, where they show substantially longer lifetimes both in static and dynamic operation.
PICMA® Piezoelectric actuators are made from a PZT-ceramic material in which the piezoceramic properties such as stiffness, capacitance, displacement, temperature stability and lifetime are optimally combined. The actuators' monolithic design and special electrode structure was made possible by advances in production technology. This development is just one reflection of the more than 30 years experience PI has with thousands of industrial PZT applications.
