Piezo Ceramic Components & Transducers for OEMs

Piezo Custom Assemblies, Miniature Piezo Transducers, Working with OEM's, Instrumentation Manufacturers

 

Developing and manufacturing piezo ceramic materials and components are complex processes. PI Ceramic - PI’s piezo material design and manufacturing facility - boasts several decades of experience as well as the right tools for rapid prototyping of custom engineered piezo components and assemblies. From the formulation of advanced piezo materials to the processing steps such as cutting, milling, grinding, and the precision assembly, every stage is controlled by our engineers and product specialists. 

Close Cooperation with Our Customers from the Prototype to Large Production Runs

 

PI Ceramic's process control allows the transition from test samples to large production runs in a reliable and cost-efficient way while maintaining the high quality our products are known for. PI Ceramic has a track record of working closely with OEM instrumentation manufacturers. Our engineers have the knowledge and experience to analyze the requirements and understand the application. They work with our customer's engineers to find the best standard product or design a custom part or assembly. 

 

Based on expertise gained in more than 40 years of continuous research and manufacturing of piezoelectric material and components, PI Ceramic can provide world-class high-performance piezoelectric actuator and transducer components and subassemblies. Read about PI Ceramic

Component Types and Applications

PI Ceramic manufactures piezo components, including tubes, rings, plates, disks, and spheres that can be used in applications such as medical ultrasound technologies, level and flow control and measurement, ultrasonic welding and cleaning, bubble detectors, and proximity sensors, echolocation (sonar) etc. 

 

Dimensions and Physical Limitations

The product groups above are available with custom shapes and dimensions, with limits determined by the production tools and minimum dimensions based on physical and technological limits. The minimum thickness or wall thickness of a piezo component is limited by the mechanical strength of the ceramic material required during the machining process. The maximum thickness in the polarization direction is 30mm.  

 

 

 


Value Added Assemblies / Integration / Customisation

PI Ceramic is experienced in providing value added products by integrating a piezo ceramic component into a customer’s sub-assembly or product. This includes electrical contacting of the piezo elements according to customer requirements, mounting of customer provided components, and gluing or casting of the piezo ceramics.  

PI Ceramic has access to state-of-the-art machines and technologies and can ramp up quickly components to provide piezo components in large quantities at short notice.
