Multilayer Piezoelectric Actuators
ASL Series Metal Sealed 150°C
Overview
Applications
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.
Typical applications include fine adjustment of various X-Y
table steppers, mirror/prism positioning, linear motors, fluid
flow control valve drive, vibration source and manipulators.
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
displacements and forces at low voltages.
The ASL Metal Sealed 150°C series actuators are less
impacted by ambient humidity due to insulation from the
atmosphere. As a result, long operational life and high
performance have been attained which are ideal for use in
various high reliability applications such as semiconductor
device production equipment and optical communication
equipment.
