| | .jpg) | Competence in Piezoceramic Engineering
Piezoceramic devices are used to convert mechanical features such as pressure or acceleration into voltages, or conversely, to convert a voltage into mechanical motion or oscillation. Piezoceramics are used in many types of electromechanical transducers operating in a wide range of frequencies. In sensors, they enable forces, pressures and accelerations to be converted into electrical signals. In sound generators and ultrasonic devices such as transducers they produce oscillations or deformation in response to voltage input. | |

The forming methods used in the manufacture of piezoceramic parts are as diverse as their range of applications and the associated engineered materials. Over the years, CeramTec has refined these individual processes and methods to perfection. Operating sequences monitored to DIN ISO 9000 standard specifications form the basis of a manufacturing effort which meets the stringent quality requirements placed on automotive and safety applications. A customer-specific parts rate exceeding 90% testifies to the flexibility of our production system, which turns out individual prototypes with the same precision and reliability as volume-produced standard parts.
Typical shapes include discs, rectangular plates, rods, rings, cylinders, tubes and tube segments, balls, and spherical elements. | |
