Outstanding lifetime thanks to PICMA® piezo actuators
The patented PICMA® piezo actuators are all-ceramic insulated. This protects them against humidity and failure resulting from an increase in leakage current. PICMA® actuators offer an up to ten times longer lifetime than conventional polymer-insulated actuators. 100 billion cycles without a single failure are proven.
Suitable for sophisticated vacuum applications
Piezo actuators do not require lubrication and do not cause abrasion. The all-ceramic isolated PICMA® actuators also do not require polymer isolation and are therefore ideal for vacuum applications.
