• Lead-free, crystalline actuator material
• High dynamics
• Ideal for operation without position control
• Low electrical power consumption
• Minimal length tolerances
Bipolar operating voltage up to ±500 V. Nearly hysteresis-free motion (<0.2%). No creep. Picoactuator®, as longitudinal and shear actuators, are configurable up to heights of 20 mm and maximum travel of ±1.5 µm
• UHV-compatible to 10-9 hPa
• Inner hole
• Tips
Picoactuator® longitudinal and shear actuators consist of a crystalline piezoelectric material. The specific displacement for shear actuators is ±0.02 % of the actuators length and ±0.01 % for longitudinal piezo actuators. This value is ten times lower when compared to piezo actuators made of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The motion is highly linear and almost hysteresis-free.
