Composite and lead-free materials – new from PI.
AUBURN, Mass. , June 4, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PI, a global leader in piezoelectric
materials, piezo actuators and transducers, extends its selection
of high quality piezoceramic elements. Available in various sizes
and geometries, the new components are offered, especially designed
for ultrasonic transducer applications. In addition to standard
COTS parts, custom engineered components are offered for OEM
customers.
Ultrasonic Transducer Applications
Ultrasound transducers are used in various applications, including
medical technology -- sensing and treatment with high intensity
ultrasound (HIFU), microscopy, and industrial sensing, as well as
in power ultrasonic applications for example with Langevin
Transducers.
Different Piezo Manufacturing Technologies
PI provides piezo solutions based on bulk technology, multilayer
technology, as well as flexible composites that can be adapted to
complex shapes.
Types of Piezo Components
Available shapes and functions include piezo disks, rods,
cylinders, plates, rings, tubes spheres, bending elements,
miniaturized components, and flexible composites.
Composite Materials: Various Arrangements, Electrodes, and
Contacting
Composites can be manufactured in ceramic rows (2-2 arrangement) or
individual pins (1-3 arrangement), PI Ceramic also has the
capability to apply full-surface electrodes or insulated single
electrodes using thin-film technology.
Latest Developments: Lead Free Piezoceramic Materials
PI Ceramic is also leading in the development of lead-free piezo
materials, based on bismuth sodium titanate (BNT). These are
especially suitable for ultrasonic transducers in the MHz range as
well as for sonar and hydrophone applications.
Customer Focus - Customized Designs
The PI Ceramic engineering team holds extensive expertise in
selecting materials, developing, and manufacturing components for
ultrasonic transducers, always focusing on the customer's
application. Continuous research and development of piezoceramic
materials is providing optimized performance and leads to lead-free
alternatives.
Customized Connectivity Solutions and Value-Added Assemblies
Additionally, PI provides customized advanced connectivity
solutions, such as flexible printed circuit boards, various
soldering options, bonding to substrates, and assembling ultrasonic
transducers with acoustically matched coatings and housings.
