         Stripe Actuators : Bi-laminar Flexing Actuators

APCI offers a variety of standard Stripe Actuators. Typical applications for these actuators range from needle control to cooling devices for electronics. These actuators can be custom manufactured for your application if the standard Stripe Actuators do not provide the required performance.

STRIPE ACTUATORS

  • Catalog items 40-XXXX (see website)
  • Advanced layering technology
  • >2.5mm deflection at 150 V input
  • Useful blocking forces
  • Surface protected from humidity and dust
  • Helpful technical notes available

         Piezoelectric Ceramic Element Behavior

Understanding the relationships between input frequency and other relevant parameters is a determining factor leading to success when working with piezoelectric ceramic elements. ACPI has many resources available to provide guidance in this area.
  • CERAMIC ELEMENTSSignificance of input frequency
  • Resonance frequency
  • Anti-resonance frequency
  • Stability
  • Electrical and thermal limitations
  • Impedance as a function of frequency
