Piezoceramics & Piezo Technology

How is it possible to convert mechanical energy into electrical signals precisely and in real time? Piezoceramics from CeramTec make this possible. They form the heart of modern sensors and actuators in areas such as medical equipment, the automotive industry, energy supply and industrial manufacturing. This is made possible by the piezoelectric effect, i.e. the ability of certain ceramic materials to generate electrical voltage under mechanical stress and vice versa. Whether for ultrasound diagnostics, smart metering or leak detection, our piezoelectric materials enable reliable, high-precision and sustainable solutions. 

We would also like to recommend our lead-free piezoceramic solutions based on BNT-BT. Versatile, sustainable and customised - for medical technology and industry! Find out more.

Ultrasonic Transducers & Piezoceramic Sensors

In automotive engineering, sensor systems assure the safety of occupants and provide intelligent engine control capabilities.

In ultrasonic applications, piezoceramic components generate high-power ultrasonic waves for ultrasonic cleaning, drilling and welding and for stimulating of chemical processes. On the other hand, piezoceramics are found in many signal and information processing solutions in the form of ultrasonic receivers and transmitters. They also play a key role in advanced sonar locating and ranging, non-destructive material testing, and medical diagnostic equipment.

The operation of piezoceramic actuators relies on the ability of piezo elements to produce controlled deformation in the micrometer range. This characteristic enables new applications for electromechanical transducers as drivers in hydraulic and pneumatic valves, positioning systems, micromanipulators, and proportioning systems for liquid and gaseous media.
