Elliptec Actuator A10E
Small and highly precise actuation tasks are best solved with piezoelectric elements, which transform electric voltage into a mechanic change of length.
The longer the piezoelectric element, the larger is the motion that can be generated. While the motion is most often generated along the longest dimension of the piezoelectric element, the motion of the Elliptec Actuator is perpendicular to the longest dimension.
The Elliptec Actuator A10E combines a piezoelectric element with an aluminum frame into which it is press-fit. When voltage is supplied to the piezoelectric element, the element expands and bends the rod-shaped actuator. The resulting motion is directly available for your application. The actuator displacement depends on the mechanical load on the actuator. The top movement typically is about 4.7 µ m without load at a voltage of 20 V.
