Piezo components

Technology

A piezo component is a bulk/ monolayer product which consists of a single block of piezoelectric material with electrodes on top and bottom. These components are produced by Noliac Ceramics.

The basic technology for the manufacturing of piezoceramic components is the pressing of shaped bodies using spraydried granular material. This is achieved using high-capacity presses with up to 1 MN compacting force.

The shaped bodies are either manufactured true-to-size, taking into account the sintering contraction, or with machining excesses which are removed to achieve the required precision.

By using high-production inboard diamond sawing equipment, it is possible to manufacture components (discs, plates, tubes, etc.) with a thickness as low as 0.2 mm.
