Piezo tubes are monolithic actuators which contract laterally and longitudinally when a voltage is applied between the inner and outer electrodes. With quadrature electrodes the tubes can be operated as XY endoscopy scanners and as microscopy scanners.
Technical Data:
Electrodes:
Silver coated inside and out
Polarization:
Inner electrode positive
Max. operating voltage:
500 or 1000 V
The following standard models are examples of our capabilities. For more details, ask for separate data sheet.
