Piezoelectric Bending Transducer (S230-J1FR-1808XB) Meta||Unit Cost @ Qty. x1||$497 A 2-layer piezoelectric actuator produces

A 2-layer piezoelectric actuator produces curvature when one piezo layer expands while the other layer contracts

This allows the user to experiment with using the device in series or in parallel and also in bending mode or in extension

PSI-5H4E is an industry type 5H (Navy Type VI) piezoceramic

or flexural elements

The motion in the thickness direction is on the order of tens of nanometers

Piezoelectric Bending Transducer (S230-J1FR-1808XB) Meta||Unit Cost @ Qty. x1||$497 A 2-layer piezoelectric actuator producesA 2 layer piezoelectric actuator produces curvature when one piezo layer expands while the other layer contracts. These transducers are often referred to as benders, bimorphs, or flexural elements. Bender motion on the order of hundreds to thousands of microns, and bender force from tens to hundreds of grams, is typical. The brass shim reinforcement laminated between the two piezoelectric layers is an economical approach to producing a rugged actuator.
