Piezo actuators use little power to move big load

Pi Pica Power Piezo Actuator

Piezo actuators, P-212, P-216, P-225 and P-235 series, are equipped with advanced PIC 255 Pica power piezoceramic stacks. They come with load capacities from 2,000 to 30,000N and travel ranges from 15 to 180 µm. More than 100 standard models are offered. All actuators provide sub-nanometer resolution and are available with position feedback for better positioning accuracy. Integrated preload makes these actuators ideal for dynamic applications such as precision machining and active vibration damping, and push-pull applications. The low-capacitance, piezo ceramics require less electric power than similar actuators, an advantage for high dynamics applications.
