PIA (piezo impulse generator) composite piezo stacks can be used as high-power shockwave generators.
These impulse generators deliver high accelerations for testing structures and materials, for example. A special dielectric ceramic is used for these pulse generators, which are highly efficient with a high power density.
Pulse energy density is twice as high as comparable ceramic for actuators.
Features:
– Adjustable impact parameters such as energy/acceleration/deflection
– E 10,000 g, stroke up to > 100 µm
– High repeatability of impact parameters, precise time behavior
– Pulse energies in the Joule range
– Variable collision and repetition rates
– Shortest expansion times in the µs range
– Pulse width at approx. 10 µs
– Precise triggering in the µs range
