Piezo
Piezo – Comes from the Greek word meaning "push or press" and describes the generation of an electrical voltage signal due to the deformation of a piezoelectric material. The term Piezo describes all products which implement this effect. piezosystem jena uses the piezo as an actuating element for positioning purposes. The design of a piezo and a piezoelectric element varies according to use and application. When we consider the piezo and the piezoelectric actuator used by piezosystem jena in their piezostages, then we speak of the inverse piezoelectric effect..
For more information on the topic of piezo, piezo technology and piezo positioning, see our Piezoline document.
