Expect Better - Spec APC 880 Piezo Powder!


For use in High Power Applications

 

With the rising cost of commodities, one cannot overstate the value of quality powder, improved yields, and realized production gains. Why risk your project on specifying a broad Navy Classification of piezoelectic ceramic? Secure a material manufactured in the U.S. with high standards by specifying APC 880. 

 

APC 880 delivers:

  • Higher Part Yields  
  • Less Lost Labor Dollars 
  • Traits for High Power Applications Like:  
    • Ultrasonic Welding 
    • Ultrasonic Mixing/Dispersion 
    • Ultrasonic Surgery
    • Sonochemistry
    • Cryogenic SEMs 
  • High Electromechanical Coupling Factor
  • High Mechanical Q
  • High Stability/Low Dissipation
  • Compatible with High Voltages/Mechanical Load  
  • Consistent parts year after year
