Piezoelectric ceramics consulting
Navigating the landscape of piezoelectric (PZT) materials can indeed be challenging due to the multitude of options available commercially. At Resonance, while we don't manufacture piezoelectrics ourselves, we specialize in guiding clients to select the most suitable material for their specific applications.
With over 20 different types of piezoelectric materials available, ranging from ceramics to composites and single crystals, the decision-making process can be complex. Each type offers unique properties and characteristics, further adding to the complexity of the selection process.
Our expertise lies in understanding the nuances of these materials and helping clients navigate their options effectively. By assessing factors such as desired performance, operating conditions, and budget constraints, we provide tailored guidance to ensure the optimal choice of piezoelectric material for each application, ultimately maximizing performance and efficiency.
Commercially Available Types of PZTs
While not exhaustive, this brief list serves as a starting point for your PZT (lead zirconate titanate) material selection:
- Modified PZTs (or soft PZTs)
- Modified PZTs (or hard PZTs)
- Modified Bismuth Titatnates
- Modified Lead Titatnate
- Modified Lead Metaniobate
- Modified PZT5 composites (1-3)
- Single crystal PMN-PT
We can point you to the right vendor based on the application, and use it make you a transducer that fits your needs.
