Bendable and Robust
• Useable as actuator, sensor or energy generator
• Inexpensive
• 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.
Customized versions and other specifications on request
• Flexible choice of size
• Flexible choice of thickness and therefore 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
Robust, inexpensive design
Laminated structure consisting of a piezoceramic plate, electrodes and polymer materials. Manufactured with bubble-free injection method. The polymer coating simultaneously serves as electrical insulation and as mechanical preload, which makes the DuraAct bendable.
Application fields
Industry and research. Can also be applied to curved surfaces or used for integration in structures. For adaptive systems, energy harvesting, structural health monitoring.
