FPA-1450C Piezoelectric Actuator

FPA-1450C | Piezoelectric Actuator

Description

DSM's FPA-1450C is a flexure-based piezoelectric actuator ideal for both dynamic and static applications where precise and accurate positioning is required. The actuator is designed for high force and bandwidth applications. The FPA-1450C is available as a standard product with low voltage (150V) piezo material. The actuator incorporates a preload for bi-directional motion and a stainless steel amplification mechanism. The mechanism's design enables relatively high displacement in an extremely low-profile package. Custom mounting conditions can be integrated into the design.
