Piezoelectric Bending Transducer (S230-J1FR-1808XB) Model:S230-J1FR-1808XB instead operated solely in parallel

instead operated solely in parallel

This material provides a compromise between PZT 5A and 5H

the piece expands along the axis of polarization (thickness direction) and contracts perpendicular to the axis of polarization (radial direction)

The bending disks bow in and out like a drum head

Piezoelectric Bending Transducer (S230-J1FR-1808XB) Model:S230-J1FR-1808XB instead operated solely in parallelA 2 layer piezoelectric actuator produces curvature when one piezo layer expands while the other layer contracts. These transducers are often referred to as benders, bimorphs, or flexural elements. Bender motion on the order of hundreds to thousands of microns, and bender force from tens to hundreds of grams, is typical. The brass shim reinforcement laminated between the two piezoelectric layers is an economical approach to producing a rugged actuator.
