About Piezoelectric Drivers and Piezoelectric Amplifiers

Piezoelectric drivers and piezoelectric amplifiers are power sources that provide the high voltage levels needed to drive other piezoelectric devices such as actuators, motors, transducers, and sensors. They are also used for the open-loop and closed-loop control of complete piezoelectric systems. Most piezoelectric drivers and piezoelectric amplifiers are sold as single-channel benchtop instruments; however, multi-channel devices and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) designs are also available. Many devices exhibit bi-directional power flow capabilities in order to provide efficient operation with minimum power loss. Battery-powered and line-powered models are commonly available. 


Products & Services Related to Piezoelectric Drivers and Piezoelectric Amplifiers

Piezoelectric Actuators
Piezoelectric actuators are devices that produce a small displacement with a high force capability when voltage is applied. 
Piezoelectric Devices
Piezoelectric devices generate electrical signals in response to vibrations and produce mechanical energy in response to electrical signals. Device types include actuators, motors, sensors, and transducers.
Piezoelectric Motors
Piezoelectric motors use a piezoelectric ceramic element to produce ultrasonic vibrations of an appropriate type in a stator structure. The consequent movement can either be rotational or linear depending on the design of the structure.
