16 Piezoelectric Actuator Manufacturers in 2022
This section provides overview, applications, and principles of piezoelectric actuators. Also, please take a look at the list of 16 piezoelectric actuator manufacturers and their company rankings.
What Is a Piezoelectric Actuator?
A piezoelectric actuator converts input energy, or energy output by a computer, into physical motion to form a machine or electrical circuit.
It utilizes a piezoelectric element called a piezo to convert electrical energy into physical, mechanical energy.
Since piezoelectric actuators utilize the deformation of piezoelectric ceramics, they do not generate electromagnetic noise, have incredibly high precision, and have a fast response time compared to other actuators.
Since they do not require a coil to drive the actuator, they can be made compact. Their low power consumption makes them ideal for use in precision equipment such as digital cameras and mobile terminals, where miniaturization is required.
Applications of Piezoelectric Actuators
Piezoelectric actuators are used in various applications, from industrial products to familiar electrical appliances and precision equipment, taking advantage of their compact size, high response speed, and low power consumption.
The fields in which piezoelectric actuators are used are diverse and include the medical, precision instrument, and industrial fields.
Specific products include precision equipment such as single-lens reflex cameras, storage media such as hard disk drives and inkjet printers, as well as medical equipment and industrial products.
Principle of Piezoelectric Actuators
Piezoelectric material is a substance with a raw piezoelectric effect and reverses voltage effect. Piezoelectric actuators utilize the reverse piezoelectric effect, in which force or strain is generated by applying an electric field to a crystal, which is a characteristic of piezoelectric material.
The piezoelectric ceramics used in piezoelectric actuators are designed to obtain high displacement from a small drive voltage due to this inverse piezoelectric effect, and by reducing the thickness of the ceramics, the voltage of the piezoelectric actuator can be reduced.
