Piezoelectric Bending Transducer (T220-A4BR-2513XB) Meta||Description||2;85 x 2;85 x 0;0075 in. PZT 5A Piezoelectric Plate When an electric field having

When an electric field having the same polarity and orientation as the original polarization field is placed across the thickness of a single sheet of piezoceramic

It also exhibits good performance as a resonant actuator

Thin vacuum sputtered silver electrodes produce extremely low current leakage and low magnetic permeability

and force from tens to hundreds of Newtons is typical

the piece expands along the axis of polarization (thickness direction) and contracts perpendicular to the axis of polarization (radial direction)

Piezoelectric Bending Transducer (T220-A4BR-2513XB) Meta||Description||2;85 x 2;85 x 0;0075 in. PZT 5A Piezoelectric Plate When an electric field havingA 2 layer piezoelectric actuator produces curvature when one piezo layer expands while the other layer contracts. These transducers are often referred to as benders, bimorphs, or flexural elements. Bender motion on the order of hundreds to thousands of microns, and bender force from tens to hundreds of grams, is typical. The brass shim reinforcement laminated between the two piezoelectric layers is an economical approach to producing a rugged actuator.
