Piezocomposite actuators Piezos for high forces! Faster than resonant frequencies! variable lengths from millimeters to meter incredibly precise

1. Piezocomposite actuators Piezocomposites are linear high load actuators designed in a discrete joining technology. Their advantages lay in high force generation and high stiffness. Another key advantage is the ability to use a variable selection of piezo-ceramics. This variety of thermal behavior, dynamics, voltage stress and Curie temperature allow piezocomposite actuators to be used in countless applications. Applications of piezocomposite actuators Piezocomposite actuators are used for: shaker active vibration damping shock wave generation material testing short impulse excitation features...

5. Theory Force In dynamic applications the generation of tensile and pressure forces are bound to the acceleration. For a sinu-soidal input signal the following formula applies: F = force m = moved mass a = acceleration ŝ = amplitude f = working frequency Frequencies With specially designed piezo shakers from piezosystem jena it is possible to work above the resonant frequency. The generated energy can reach several joules. Shock pulse The sock pulse (p) is the product of the mass which is moved into the shock front and the particle velocity. The shock pulse depends on the cross section of the...
