Parameters Affecting Piezo Behavior
Understanding the relationships between input frequency and other relevant parameters is a determining factor leading to success when working with piezoelectric ceramic elements. APC International has many resources available to provide guidance in this area. Alternatively, it is not uncommon to face cost or quality related challenges when manufacturing sub-assemblies involving piezo parts. Contact an APC International representative if you are interested in exploring options to outsource your assembly.
