Piezo Element Sizes and Shapes
Using CNC technology APC International is able to manufacture piezoelectric ceramic elements in a wide range of shapes and sizes. APC International most frequently manufactures piezoelectric discs, rings, plates, and cylinders. While these are the most common shapes manufactured by our machine shop, we also have a great deal of experience manufacturing hemispheres, trapezoids, concave lenses, and other customer specified shapes.

Discrete Stack & Co-Fired Stack Actuators
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Discrete stacking offers the widest range of ceramic materials, flexibility in the shape of the ceramic elements, and better control of heat generated during high frequency operation, but voltages of 500 V - 1000 V usually are needed to operate these actuators.
Co-fired actuators are driven by much lower voltages, 100 V - 150 V, but most co-fired stacks are prepared from low Curie point ceramics, and are incompatible with high electrical input.mode power drive technology.
In either construction, the stack of ceramic elements can be simply coated with an insulating material -- a bare stack -- or it can be encased in a stainless steel or other casing, to protect it from mechanical damage and environmental effects, or to incorporate mechanical pre-stress. The casing and pre-stress also direct shear forces to the pre-stress mechanism.
