Applications of Piezo Drivers and Amplifiers
|
|
Piezoelectric transducers, including actuators, scanner tubes, and benders, offer response times in the microsecond range, enabling exceptionally fast and precise motion. This performance makes them well-suited for applications such as high-speed switching, valve control, micromachining, micro-pumping and micro-dispensing, as well as active optics and vibration cancellation systems.
