PICA Shear Actuators

Standard contacts for piezo actuators are 100 mm stranded wires or soldering points. For each piezo element, different wires acc. to the AWG standard are used. PICA Shear for cryogenic and UHV environments use tantalum electrodes, which can be contacted by means of a conducting adhesive or by welding. Please observe the soldering instructions for each product.

PI Ceramic has suitable tips and bases with standard dimensions in stock and mounts them prior to delivery. Possible tip designs are flat or spherical tips made e.g. of metal, ceramics, glass or sapphire. Application-specific end pieces can be manufactured on request.

PI Ceramic integrates piezo ceramics into the customer’s product. This includes both the electrical contacting of the elements according to customer requirements and the mounting of components provided by the customer, as well as the gluing or the casting of the piezo ceramics.
