-Power High-Level Dynamics Piezo Actuators

™ -Power actuators are delivered with performance test sheets. Amplifiers, Drivers &Controllers PI offers a wide range of piezocontrol electronics, from low-power drivers to the ultra-high-performance E-480 power amplifier delivering 2000 W of dynamic power.For closed-loop positioningapplications, a variety of ana- log and digital controllers is also available. The modular E-500 system can be upgradedfrom an amplifier to a servo-controller and offers a variety of computer interfaces. Of course, PI also designs cus-tom amplifiers and controllers.

Based on the PIC 255 material,PICA Clear Aperture Available for preloaded actuators. Short Leadtime for Standard& Custom Designs PICA
™ -Power-series piezoce-ramic stack actuators areoffered in a large variety ofstandard shapes and sizes, with additional custom designs to suit any application. Because all piezoelectric mate-rials used in PICA
™ -Power actu-ators are manufactured at PICeramic, leadtimes are short and quality is outstanding. Allstandard and custom PICA
™ -Power actuators areoptimized for high-tempera- ture working conditions and high-duty-cycle dynamic appli- cations. With our extensive applications knowledge, gained
Application Examples over several decades, we know how to build performance that does not come at the price of reliability. All materials used are specifically matched for robustness and lifetime.Endurance tests on PICA
