Piezo-Chip Actuators


APC International, Ltd. offers a wide array of low voltage multilayer piezo stack solutions for integration into your application. Piezo chips are flat multilayer elements that are ideal for compact actuator arrangements, particularly for force sensing or generation applications. Check out page 26 of our low voltage multi-layer catalog to learn more about PCh 150, HPCh 150 and PCh 50 type piezo chips.

 

Why Piezo Chips? 

  • For high axial resonant frequencies
  • Suitable for d31 and d33 action
  • Special 50 V-type available with high charge generation rate
  • Compact size 

Additional information on all piezo stacks supplied by APC International, Ltd. - including the eBook - First Steps Towards Piezoaction
