SCL Series Stack Actuators
The SCL stack actuators include a full-bridge strain sensor for closed-loop control and strain monitoring. The stack actuator is ceramic encapsulated for humidity protection and epoxy coated to insulate the high-voltage wiring and provide mechanical protection. The SCL actuators are ideally matched to the PiezoDrive PDu150CL driver that can be calibrated to an actuator when ordered together. Applications include: Nanopositioning, Microscopy, Precision Machining, Vibration Control, Hydraulic Pumps, Valves, and Optics.
SR Series 150V Piezoelectric Ring Stacks
The PiezoDrive SR ring stacks are high performance multilayer actuators with a vacuum compatible polymer coating and a large central aperture. The SR rings stacks are matched to PiezoDrive amplifiers and driver modules.
Applications include: Optics, Microscopy, Nanopositioning, and Precision machining.
TB Series Piezoelectric Tube Scanners
Piezoelectric tube scanners are thin cylinders of radially poled piezoelectric material with four external electrodes a continuous internal electrode. When a voltage is applied to one of the external electrodes, the actuator wall expands which causes a vertical contraction and a large lateral deflection of the tube tip. A circumferential electrode can be used for vertical or radial extension and contraction.
Piezoelectric tube scanners are used extensively in scanning probe microscopes and applications such as fiber stretching and beam scanning.
