Piezo vibrations and piezo shakers PiSha
Piezo-technology provides an excellent base for high-frequency /high force shaking even with rather tiny elements. This brochure describes the general features high frequency piezo-shaking elements and basic test arrangements.
Useful for modal analysis, quality testing Piezomechanik delivers piezo-shakers on custom design base only |
|
Piezo impactors/accelerators PIA
Piezo-technology allows highly efficient generation of mechanical shocks with high force levels.
This brochure describes the general featurures of shock-generating elements and basic test arrangements. Applications are modal analysis, material data investigation, quality testing, Piezomechanik delivers piezo-shock generators on custom design base only |
|
High power piezoelectric axial shockwave generation
Application note on high power shockwave generators for material characterization, mechanical testing, impact physics

HYDRAP
|
Hydraulic micro positioner HYDRAP
this hydraulic long-range ultra-fine-positioner does not! contain a piezo-element.
It is manually operated and can be an alternative to piezo - positioners used for quasi-static applications. (Main applications: nuclear technology, cell biology) |
Electronics
|
Electronic supplies for piezomechanics: An introduction
Provides basic information about electrical behaviour of piezo actuators (capacitive elements).
How is the mechanical response of your piezo actuator like “position”, “velocity”, “acceleration”, ”force” related with the electrical parameters “electrical charge”, “electrical current”, “voltage”. Hints are given for an optimum combination of actuators and power supplies for reducing self heating and extending the frequency bandwidth of your system. It is the power supply, what defines the performance of your actuation system ! |
