Resin coated type multilayer piezoelectric actuators

Outline

Multilayer piezoelectric actuators are ceramic elements

for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy

such as displacement or force by utilizing the

piezoelectric longitudinal effect.

NEC TOKIN's multilayer piezoelectric actuators are

produced based on our unique element structure

design and using originally developed piezoelectric

ceramic materials with high electrostrictive factors.

Compared to conventional piezoelectric actuators,

they are smaller in size but can generate higher

displacement and force at low voltages.

Especially, the resin-coated AE series actuators

feature compact size and wide variety in shape for

applications such as ultra-fine positioning mechanisms

and drive sources.

Applications

Auto focusing of cell phone camera, Image stabilization

of DSC, Positioning, Motors, Pumps, Valves, Vibration

source, Vibration controls, Sensors, Mirror / Prism

positioning, Manipulators, AFM, Printer, etc

Features

⃝ High-speed response: Driving up to about 1/3 of self-

resonant frequency

（in several ten kHz）is possible.

⃝ Accurate positioning: Controllable in nm order.

⃝ Low power consumption: Can be retained at the

leakage current state

（100μA or less）.

⃝ Very small size: 1/10 or smaller than conventional

multilayer actuators
