The DuraAct Power multilayer patch transducers use the longitudinal or d33 effect, which describes an elongation parallel to the electric field E and the polarization direction P of the piezo actuator. The d33 piezoelectric charge coefficients for longitudinal displacement are considerably higher than the d31 coefficients for transversal displacement, used by all-ceramic patch transducers (Source: Wierach, DLR).

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.
Customized versions and other specifications on request
