Piezo actuators
The Piezoelectric Actuators developed by CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES have the following outstanding characteristics: high force and large displacement in compact sizes, high resolution within the nanometre range, very short response time below 1 ms, life time greater than 1010 cycles, low voltage supply below 150V DC, no backlash and no play, low power consumption when static, severe environment compatibility (vacuum, cryogenic, high temperatures,…).
In order to meet varying customer actuation specifications, CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES has developped different families of standard piezoelectric actuators with their corresponding drivers and controllers:
Applications
Our piezo actuators find applications in all the fields of mechatronics. The major ones are space and newspace, optronics, scientific instrumentation, production and manufacturing and medical technology. All these application fields gather round advanced functions requiring fast or precise actuation: precise positioning, fast displacement, vibration/force generator, vibration damping.
