Highly Reliable PICMA® Multilayer Piezo Actuators: New Versions Available for Use Under Extreme Conditions
Encapsulated PICMA® Stack multilayer piezo actuator (photo: PI)
The multilayer piezo actuator is hermetically sealed in a stainless steel casing which is filled with dry inert gas. This encapsulation makes the PICMA® Stack multilayer piezo actuators suitable for use in rough industrial environments.
The multilayer piezo actuators with stainless steel casing are UHV-compatible to 10-9 hPa. A high displacement can already be achieved with a piezo voltage of -20 to 120 V.
Encapsulated versions of the multilayer piezo actuators are available in different sizes, e. g. Ø 11.2 × 22.5 mm for a stroke/displacement of 14 µm, and Ø 11.2 × 40.5 mm for a stroke/displacement of up to 30 µm. Higher forces can be generated with a version measuring Ø 18.6 × 22.5 mm which has a maximum stroke/displacement of 14 µm.
Case mounting is done by clamping or gluing the actuators. For electrical contacting, wire leads are led out of the case.
The encapsulated PICMA® Stack multilayer piezo actuators can be manufactured in other sizes on request.
Since 1992, PI Ceramic (PIC) has been developing and manufacturing piezo ceramic materials and components for standard and OEM solutions: Piezo components, ultrasonic transducers, actuators, and system solutions. The PICMA® multilayer actuator technology, which received an award for its reliability, is one of many innovations of PIC. PI Ceramic, a subsidiary of PI (Physik Instrumente), is located in the city of Lederhose, Thuringia, Germany.

PICMA® Bender Actuators From PI Ceramic Can Be Easily Customized
Thanks to a new type of production technology, multilayer bender actuators can be manufactured in large quantities with almost any desired contours and dimensions. Even unusual shapes such as trapezoid and internal holes with a full ceramic insulation are thus possible. The piezo actuator is protected against humidity and has a high insulation strength, which considerably increases the lifetime in comparison to conventional polymer-insulated actuators.
The height of the active…
Lead-Free Piezo Material Enters Series Production
PI Ceramic (PIC), a worldwide leading player in the field of actuator and sensoric piezo products, now offers a lead-free piezo material for lead-free ultrasonic transducers.
The PIC 700 material is based on bismuth-sodium-titanat (BNT) and is produced as a block by pressing technology. The piezoelectric characteristics are promising: PIC 700 has a high coupling factor for the flexural vibration and is thus suitable as an ultrasonic transducer in the…
