Increased Lifetime and Higher Performance
PICMA® (PI Ceramic Monolithic Actuator) piezo actuators are characterized by their high performance and reliability, even in extremely harsh environments. They are superior to conventional multilayer actuators in industrial applications and high-endurance situations, where they show substantially longer lifetimes both in static and dynamic operation.

New Production Process, Optimized PZT Ceramics
PICMA® piezo actuators are made from a ceramic material in which the piezoceramic properties such as stiffness, capacitance, displacement, temperature stability and lifetime are optimally combined. The actuators" monolithic design and special electrode structure was made possible by advances in production technology. This development is just one reflection of the more than 30 years experience PI has with thousands of industrial PZT applications.
