Piezo Ceramics for Medical Applications
Auburn, MA - A new brochure from piezo specialist PI on medical applications of piezo ceramic actuators and components is available for download at:

Piezo motors and actuators have several advantages over classical motion control components.
Examples are:
o Sterile / high bake-out temperatures
o No lubricants required,
o Non-magnetic principle (MRI ...)
o Vacuum compatible
o Smaller, higher force
o Faster response
o Direct linear motion w/o conversion losses.
Application Examples
o Piezo ceramics for pumps, nebulizers and atomizers
o Piezo motors for micro liquid dispensing
o Non-Magnetic piezo motors for Imaging / OCT, MRI
o Scanning stages for bio-research microscopy
o Hexapod robots for computer aided surgery
