Wide Temperature Range Benders

HD-PAB1501 and AB1270A-LW100

Piezoelectric materials are typically limited in their operating temperature range due to their intrinsic properties, which can degrade at high temperatures. However, there are specialized piezoelectric materials and products designed for high-temperature applications. These materials are often referred to as “high-temperature
piezoelectric materials”. They can withstand elevated temperatures and are used in specific industrial and research applications where standard piezoelectric materials
would not be suitable.

Low-Profile, High Displacement Benders

HD-PAB2001-LW100 and HD-PAB2701-2

These new benders rated at high voltage ratings offer higher displacement are designed for a microfluidic pump in which a piezoelectric element rests inside a pump chamber; as the bender is excited by a repetitive signal, it expands and contracts, changing the internal volume and pressure of the pump chamber. When the piezoelectric element expands, the volume of the chamber expands, decreasing pressure and drawing in fluid from a one-way input port attached to the pump chamber. Similarly, a one-way outlet port allows fluid to be pushed out of the pump chamber when the piezoelectric element contracts.
