frequency (in several ten kHz)
• Low power consumption: Can be retained at the leakage
current state of 100 μA or less
• Very small size: 1/10 or smaller than conventional multilayer
actuators
• RoHS/REACH compliant
Overview
Multilayer piezoelectric actuators are ceramic elements used
to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy such as
displacement or force by utilizing the piezoelectric longitudinal effect.
KEMET’s multilayer piezoelectric actuators are produced based
on our unique element structure design and piezoelectric
ceramic materials with high electrostrictive factors. Compared to
conventional piezoelectric actuators, they are smaller in size but can
generate higher displacement and force at low voltages.
The Resin Coated AE series actuators feature compact size and a
wide variety of shapes for applications such as ultra-ne positioning
mechanism and drive sources.
