PT120 – PT140 Piezoceramic Tubes (HVPZT)

PT-series piezoceramic tubes are used in a wide range of applications from microdispensing to scanning microscopy. These monolithic components contract laterally (radially) and longitudinally when a voltage is applied between their inner and outer electrodes. Multi-electrode tubes are available to provide XYZ motion for use in manipulation and scanning microscopy applications. PI also provides ultra-high-linearity, closed-loop scanning stages for SPM and nanomanipulation.

Precision and Flexibility: PI Ceramic´s Strength
PT Piezoelectric tubes are manufactured to the tightest tolerances. We can provide tubes with diameters as small as 0.8 mm and tolerances as tight as 0.025 mm. 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.

Application Examples:
Micropositioning, Scanning microscopy (STM, AFM, etc.), Fiber stretching / modulation of optical path length, Micro pumps / ink-jet printing, Micromanipulators, Ultrasonic and sonar applications, etc.
