EVALUATION PACK: APA120S AND CAU10 AMPLIFIER OBJECTIVE The evaluation pack aims at an easy evaluation of the Cedrat Technologies’ offer in static conditions. It includes: • An amplified actuator APA120S • A linear amplifier Cau10 • Connectors The actuator APA 120S can bear load up to 0.5 kg over 140µm and in a compact size. The CAu10 can deliver a voltage up to 150V and has 2 channels. CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES ACTUATORS Cedrat Technologies designs two main types of actuators: PPA (Parallel Pre-stressed actuators) and APA® (Amplified Piezo Actuators). The main features of these actuators are pointed out: • A good compacity relative to their stoke achieving deformation up to 10% • A simple internal design and an easy interface • A ceramic preload sizing with the shell structure • An operation with a wide frequency range from quasistatic to ultrasonic applications ■■ Fig2: CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES Actuators PERFORMANCES Please refer to the data sheet of the APA120S and of the CAu10 for technical specifications and drawings. The typical diagram stroke/frequency in no load conditions is presented in Fig3.
