Resin coated type multilayer piezoelectric actuators
AE Series
Outline
Multilayer piezoelectric actuators are ceramic elements
for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy
such as displacement or force by utilizing the
piezoelectric longitudinal effect.
NEC TOKIN's multilayer piezoelectric actuators are
produced based on our unique element structure
design and using originally developed 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.
Especially, the resin-coated AE series actuators
feature compact size and wide variety in shape for
applications such as ultra-fine positioning mechanisms
Features
⃝ Large generated force: 3,500 N/cm2(typ.)
and drive sources.
⃝ High-speed response: Driving up to about 1/3 of self-
resonant frequency(in several ten kHz)is possible.
Applications
⃝ Accurate positioning: Controllable in nm order.
Auto focusing of cell phone camera, Image stabilization
of DSC, Positioning, Motors, Pumps, Valves, Vibration
source, Vibration controls, Sensors, Mirror / Prism
positioning, Manipulators, AFM, Printer, etc
⃝ Low power consumption: Can be retained at the
leakage current state(100μA or less).
⃝Very small size: 1/10 or smaller than conventional
multilayer actuators(specific volume)
