KEMET Electronics Corporation Piezoelectric Actuators

Multilayer piezoelectric actuators are ceramic elements used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy such as displacement or force by utilizing the piezoelectric longitudinal effect. KEMET’s multilayer piezoelectric actuators are produced based on our unique element structure design and piezoelectric ceramic materials with high electrostrictive factors. Compared to conventional piezoelectric actuators, they are smaller in size but can generate higher displacement and force at low voltages. The Resin Coated AE series actuators feature compact size and a wide variety of shapes for applications such as ultra-fine positioning mechanism and drive sources.
