Ultra-High Reliability, High Displacement, Low Power Requirements
PICA™-Stack translators are specifically designed for high-duty-cycle applications. With our extensive applications knowledge, gained over several decades, we know how to build performance that does not come at the price of reliability. All materials used are specifically matched for robustness and lifetime. Endurance tests on PICA™ piezoelectric translator prove consistent performance, even after billions (1,000,000,000) of cycles. The combination of high displacement and low electrical capacitance provides for excellent dynamic behavior with reduced driving power requirements.
Short Leadtime, Standard & Custom Designs Because all piezoelectric materials used in PICA™ piezoelectric translators are manufactured at PI Ceramic, lead times are short and quality is outstanding. All standard and custom PICA™-Stack actuators are delivered with performance test sheets.
Application examples:
Nano positioning, High-load positioning, Precision mechanics, Semiconductor manufacturing and testing, Laser tuning, Switching, Smart structures (adaptronics).
