Piezo Transducers: Nano-Precision Piezoelectric Actuators and Assemblies

Piezo transducers provide nano-scale precision for many motion applications; they are also used as ultrasonic transmitters and sensors for structural analysis, sound generation and fluid level & flow metrology, etc. PI and PI Ceramic are the leading manufacturers of high precision piezo transducers and actuator assemblies in industries such as: Medical; Semiconductors; Biotechnology and Medicine; Lasers, Optics, Microscopy; Aerospace Engineering; Precision Machining; Astronomy and Microsystems Technology.

5 Advantages of Piezoelectric Nano Transducers Over Electromechanical Transducers

1. Nanoscale Resolution: Piezo transducers provide extremely fine motion control, often down to the sub-nanometer range.
2. Fast Response: Direct solid-state actuation enables very high dynamics and rapid positioning.
3. No Wear from Rotation or Gearing: Piezo transducers do not require motors, gears, or lead screws for motion generation.
4. High Stiffness: Piezo actuators offer excellent stability and precision under dynamic operating conditions.
5. Compact Design: High force and precision can be achieved in very small form factors.
