Customized piezo ceramic products

We provide piezo ceramic elements manufactured to the industry tolerance values listed here. We can prepare elements to tighter tolerances on request. Items also are available "as fired" (without OD, ID, length or width machining), when dimensional requirements are not critical.

Piezoelectric material

Hard materials are suitable for dynamic/on-resonance applications, where the high mechanical quality factor determines the amplification of the deflection at resonance. Hard materials can withstand high level of electrical excitation and mechanical stress, and are not easy poled or depoled except at elevated temperature. However, this stability is accompanied by relatively low piezoelectric constants (i.e. low strain). If intending to use piezoelectric components in high power applications for instance, e.g. for ultrasonic cleaning, it is strongly recommended to select products based on a hardpiezoceramic material, which has roughly a factor 10 lower losses than “soft” materials and will therefore heat-up less.
