Product Highlight: Piezo Haptics Release

PUI Audio is excited to announce our Haptics Phase 3 launch to introduce piezo-based actuators, complementing our existing electromagnetic offerings!

Innovations in piezoelectric materials and manufacturing processes have driven significant growth opportunities for piezoelectric haptic actuators. Various applications can achieve higher displacement precision, faster response speed, more significant generating force, and longer life to improve user experience.

Piezoelectric material can produce a small voltage when impacted by a mechanical force – if this is reversed, and a voltage is applied to the material, physical motion is produced. This reverse piezoelectric effect is the fundamental principle behind using piezoelectric actuators to produce haptic feedback. Various voltage levels and driving signal patterns can cause a wide range of precise motion in the actuator; the resulting displacement can activate switches, create sound, release fluid, auto-break, or auto-focus, and more!

Typical application examplesinclude smart displays, touchscreens, wearables, IoT devices, human-machine interfaces, health monitoring & diagnostic devices, medical imaging, minimally invasive surgery, micropumps, experiential learning, AR/VR, gaming controls, and precision motion controls.

These new devices are perfect when precise control and movementare required in a compact, thin profile- with a unique sense of touch for high-quality tactile effects.
