Performance, Reliability and Experience
Kinetic Ceramics, Inc has manufactured piezoelectric stack actuators since 1966 under the trademarked name PIEZOMOTOR®. Our staff has more than 60 years of combined experience making high performance actuators with unmatched reliability. All piezoelectric manufacturing processes are kept inhouse to maintain full control of quality andperformance. • We produce proprietary ceramic powders that optimize strain per volt. • We form and fire disks and plates that achieve nearly perfect density and maximum strength. • We process and assemble piezoelectric stacks with highest motion, fastest response and greatest reliability. The result is PIEZOMOTOR actuators with superior performance and reliability for the most demanding applications.PIEZOMOTOR stacks are capacitors that change shape when charged with high voltage. Increasing voltage increases the length of the stack up to a maximum strain of approximately 0.1% for typical maximum voltage of 1000V. The relationship between voltage and movement is approximately linear. To operate PIEZOMOTOR actuators Kinetic Ceramics offers several types of electronic drive amplifiers thatare optimized for piezoelectric stacks. To achieve the fastest and most linear response “charge control” amplifiers are available with output power exceeding 1500 watts.

PIEZOMOTOR System Performance and Applications
PIEZOMOTOR systems meet the requirements of the toughest positioningapplications. They offer superior piezoelectric performance for customers that need: • • • • • • • • Nanometer resolution movement Very high rigidity and stiffness No magnetic fields or vacuum operation More stroke in less space Best balance between drive voltage, current and capacitance Fastest speed and closed-loop bandwidth High-power "charge control" drive amplifiers Outstanding reliability that isproven in industrial applications
PZT Primer Pierre and Jacques Curie first observed the piezoelectric phenomenon of “pressure electricity” in the 1880’s. They showed that when certain types of crystals are deformed by mechanical pressure they develop electrical charge and, when electric voltage is applied, these same crystals change shape. Many single crystal materials exhibit piezoelectricproperties including quartz and Rochelle salt. Modern ceramic technology has produced several polycrystalline piezoelectric compositions including barium titanate and lead zirconate titanate (PZT). PZT formulations were extensively researched and developed in the 1950’s and 1960’s, primarily to support Navy sonar development. Kinetic Ceramics extended this research to produce a PZT formula with optimum...
