P-878 DuraAct Power Patch Transducer

Patch transducer

Functionality as actuator and sensor component. Nominal operating voltages of -20 to 120 V. Power generation for self-sufficient systems possible up to the milliwatt range. Can also be applied to curved surfaces.

In longitudinal direction, the DuraAct Power uses the high-efficiency d₃₃ effect.

Robust, inexpensive design

Laminated structure consisting of PICMA® multilayer piezo element, electrodes and polymer materials. Manufactured with bubble-free injection method. The polymer coating simultaneously serves as electrical insulation and as mechanical preload, which makes the DuraAct bendable.
