Piezo Ceramics for Medical Applications

Date Announced: 08 Aug 2010

Physik Instrumente releases new brochure covering ceramic actuators.

Auburn, MA – a new brochure from piezo specialist PI on medical applications of piezo ceramic actuators and components is available for download at:
http://www.pi-medical.net/Motion_Control_Medical_Design_Catalog.pdf

Piezo motors and actuators have several advantages over classical motion control components. Examples are:

* Sterile / high bake-out temperatures
* No lubricants required,
* Non-magnetic principle (MRI …)
* Vacuum compatible
* Smaller, higher force
* Faster response
* Direct linear motion w/o conversion losses.

Application Examples

* Piezo ceramics for pumps, nebulizers and atomizers
* Piezo motors for micro liquid dispensing
* Non-Magnetic piezo motors for Imaging / OCT, MRI
* Scanning stages for bio-research microscopy
* Hexapod robots for computer aided surgery
