Amplified Piezoelectric Actuator

Super Technologies offers an Amplified Piezoelectric Actuator from Cedrat Technologies, France, which manufactures mechatronics products including piezoelectric and magnetic actuators, motors, mechanisms, transducers and sensors with corresponding drivers and controllers. Model APA120ML is designed to obtain a stiff actuator and produce higher displacements than Direct Piezoelectric Actuators. Consequently, the APA120ML actuator has a high bandwidth and can bear a high dynamic force. A parallel pre-stressed option (pp) is used to improve the loading capabilities of the actuators. Space evaluation program: the amplified piezoelectric actuator APA120ML has followed a space evaluation program according to ECSS standards (European Space Agency standards): thermal – vacuum: -20/75 °C; random vibration – 20 grms. Other parameters: radiations – ESCC n° 22900; outgassing – PSS 01-702; ESD – ESCC n° 23800; and micro-section examination – ESCC n° 23400. Space heritage – 3 Engineering Models have been used in a refocussing mechanism by EADS-SODERN. Super Technologies is leading system integration and product distribution organisation, engaged in providing cutting edge technology solutions.
