Useable as actuator, sensor or energy generator
Cost-effective
Min. bending radii of down to 12 mm
Compact design
Individual solutions
Patch transducer
Functionality as actuator and sensor component. Nominal operating voltage from 100 up to 1000 V, depending on the active layer height. Power generation for self-sufficient systems possible up to the milliwatt range. Can also be applied to curved surfaces
Robust, cost-effective design
Laminated structure consisting of a piezoceramic plate, electrodes and polymer materials. Manufactured with bubble-free injection method. The polymer coating simultaneously serves as a mechanical preload as well as an electrical insulation, which makes the DuraAct bendable
Custom DuraAct patch transducers
Flexible choice of size
Flexible choice of thickness and thus bending ability
Flexible choice of piezoceramic material
Variable design of the electrical connections
Combined actuator / sensor applications, even with several piezoceramic layers
Multilayer piezo elements
Arrays
Fields of application
Research and industry. Can also be applied to curved surfaces or used for integration in structures. For adaptive systems, energy harvesting, structural health monitoring
Valid patents
