The fine movement generation afforded by piezo elements is increasingly harnessed everyday, from high precision motion technologies to household commodities. Medical and commercial applications that require precise release of a solution often rely on atomizer piezo elements. Piezoelectric atomizers are used for atomizing liquids and fluids. These piezo strips bend to create displacement or generate electricity. Piezoelectric strips are thin piezo elements made of one or two layers of active piezo material. Piezo discs are extremely small, thin, and lightweight piezo elements, making them very suitable as actuator, sensor, or transducer piezo elements.

The most displacement occurs at the center of the disc piezo element, forming a dome or bowl. Piezo disc piezo elements deform when a voltage is applied. Multilayer stack piezo elements come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including rectangular, ring, and circular stacks. Stack piezo elements are manufactured by combining the expansion power of many individual piezo elements to amplify the power. Multilayer piezo stack actuators are commonly used for delivering high force generation and precise displacement.

All piezo elements, standard and custom, are made to order.Įxplore the full capabilities of Piezo Direct standard piezo elements below. However, the piezo elements below have some standard specifications listed, meaning the tooling has already been developed for that spec. Please note that standard products are not available off the shelf – everything from Piezo Direct is custom made. Our standard piezo elements are designed with several standard specifications, available as is or with any customizations needed to meet your requirements. Piezo Direct offers a wide range of piezo elements, from standard products to fully custom products. Piezo Direct’s piezo atomizers, multilayer stack actuators, piezoceramic disc actuators, and piezo bending actuators are widely utilized in many applications across a diverse range of industries. Our dedicated team of engineers is also available for testing and design assistance to build the ideal piezo element based on your requirements. Our standard piezo elements range from multilayer stack actuators to piezo atomizers and ultrasonic nebulizers. The problem solving edition "Piezoelectric Actuators -Problem Solving" was also published through Morikita, which was sold in conjunction with a 60 minute video tape to provide easy understanding.Piezo Direct manufactures a wide range of piezoelectric products, ready to ship around the globe. (Tokyo) became one of the best sellers in that company in 1986, and was then translated into Korean. The second edition "PiezoelectriclElectrostrictive Actuators" published in Japanese through Morikita Pub. The first edition titled "Essentials for Development and Applications of Piezoelectric Actuators" was published in 1984 through the Japan Industrial Technology Center. This book, in English, builds on my earlier publications concerned with ceramic actuators. Actuators utilizing piezoelectridelectrostrictive effects are expected to meet these needs in mechanical components in the next micro mechatronic age. Further, the fast paced change in semiconductor chip technology has given rise to the need for micro-displacement positioning techniques. Currently robots are producing many products under computer control in Japanese factories, and supermarkets are utilizing automation systems for sample displays and sales. As symbolized by the "Janglish (Japanese English)" word, mechatronics, the technology and the social adaptation for introducing electronics into mechanics has been readily accepted in Japan.

Remarkable developments have taken place in the field of mechatronics in recent years.
