PI Receives US Patent for Piezo Actuator Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Physik Instrumente (PI) of Auburn, Mass., a manufacturer of piezoactuators and precision motion control equipment, has received a US patent for its development of multilayer ceramic actuators. PI’s Picma piezoceramic actuators are based on stress reduction and encapsulation technologies that increase lifetime by several orders of magnitude both in static and dynamic applications, addressing key lifetime mechanisms common to other piezoelectric actuators.Read full article
