Piezoelectric Extending Transducer (D220-H4BR-2513XE) Model:D220-H4BR-2513XE If an electric field is

If an electric field is applied which makes the element thinner

and force from tens to hundreds of Newtons is typical

This two layer (bi-morph) piezoelectric actuator and sensor is unique to our other products in that each piezo layer is wired out individually to 4 wires

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

The brass shim reinforcement laminated between the two piezoelectric layers is an economical approach to producing a rugged actuator

Piezoelectric Extending Transducer (D220-H4BR-2513XE) Model:D220-H4BR-2513XE If an electric field isA 2 layer element behaves like a single layer when both layers expand (or contract) together. If an electric field is applied which makes the element thinner, extension along the length and width results. Typically, only motion along one axis is utilized. Extender motion on the order of microns to tens of microns, and force from tens to hundreds of Newtons is typical.
