Many different parts and products manufactured or supplied by APCI can be utilized in energy harvesting products. With respect to energy harvesting, APCI functions as a source for OEM's designing energy harvesting products that need piezo elements or devices to complement their electronic design. At this time, applications requiring 1 Watt or less may be practical candidates for the use of energy harvesting using piezo materials.
Elements and devices to consider in energy harvesting:
Low Voltage Stack Actuator Catalog - One actuator strongly recommended for energy harvesting applications is Pst 50/5x5/2. Review page 26 for specifications.
