Piezo basics

Piezo ceramic material, well proven for many years
Delivers high performance in many demanding applications
Few piezo motors on the market
PiezoMotor AB’s products very different from other alternatives on the market

Piezo electric materials’ abilities to create electricity when deformed and
to change shape when electrically charged (the piezo effect) were
discovered already back in the 1880’s and is part of our everyday lives.

To many people, piezo technology is something new and untried. However,
the fact is that for a long time we have been in daily contact with
products using the piezo electrical effect. It is piezo elements that
give the high and pure notes in sound systems and that transmit the waves
creating the picture in hospital's ultrasound equipment. It is piezo material that controls the exact high-pressure fuel injection in modern diesel engines. They also control the microscopic pulses of liquid in the super-fast inkjet printers and create the igniting sparkin the gas stove. You will also find piezo materials in various aviation applications, laboratory instruments, telecommunications and consumer electronics, among other areas.

Piezo ceramic materials combine sturdiness, speed, power and precision. Their motive capacity makes them extraordinary design materials for demanding industrial applications.

By developing unique piezo component designs and adding innovative drive electronics and manufacturing principles, PiezoMotor AB has enabled completely new micro motor products.

We have added new thinking on top of an already existing basic technology.
