FEATURES Low driving voltage Compact in size Large forces Custom designs. APPLICATIONS General industrial optical, medical instruments, valves Data processing printers bar-code readers Car industry fuel injection. DESCRIPTION The CMA d33 actuator is a ceramic multilayer actuator based on the piezo-electric effect. It is built up from very thin layers of PXE piezo-electric material and built-in electrodes. This construction allows for high field strength of 3 kV/mm resulting in large displacements even at low driving voltages. Additionally, the CMA d33 actuator offers a short response time and a good performance even in adverse conditions. The CMA d33 actuator element is designed for displacement in the same direction as the electrical field and poling direction. The layer thickness can be either 20 m or 40 m. All CMAs will be tailor made to customer specification.

Our piezo-ceramic multilayer products are produced to meet consistently high quality standards. High quality components in mass production require advanced production techniques as well as background knowledge of the product itself. The quality standard is achieved in our production centres by implementation of a quality assurance system based on Statistical Process Control (SPC). Statistical test results of each step in production are measured against built-in control, warning and reject levels. If an unfavourable trend is observed, corrective action is taken immediately. Quality is built-in by continuous improvement.

FEATURES Low driving voltage Compact in size Large displacement per volt Custom designs. APPLICATIONS General industrial optical, medical instruments, valves Consumer cameras, video Data processing printers. DESCRIPTION The CMA d31 actuator is a ceramic multilayer actuator based on the piezo-electric effect. It is built up from very thin layers of PXE piezo-electric material and built-in electrodes. This construction allows for high field strength of 3 kV/mm resulting in large displacements even at low driving voltages. Additionally, the CMA d31 actuator offers a short response time and a good performance even in adverse conditions. The CMA d31 actuator element is designed for perpendicular displacement on the electrical field and poling direction. On a positive voltage the element shrinks in the d31 direction causing a negative displacement. The layer thickness can be either 20 m or 40 m. All CMAs will be tailor made to customer specification.

DESCRIPTION The CMA bender actuator is a ceramic multilayer actuator based on the piezo-electric effect. It is built up from very thin layers of PXE piezo-electric material and embedded electrodes. This construction allows for high field strengths up to 3 kV/mm resulting in large displacements even at low driving voltages. Additionally, the CMA bender actuator offers a short response time and a good performance even in adverse conditions. The CMA bender actuator element can be seen as a monolithic element by combining two d31-elements together in a single ceramic body. Expansion of one of the d31-elements combined with the shrinkage of the other causes the total element to bend. The layer thickness is 20 m. All CMAs will be tailor-made to customer specification.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF CMA BENDERS Six principle driving circuits are explained in the following Sections, for a 20 m CMA bender of any size. Serial voltage control Figure 11 shows a possible electrical connection of a bender to a single output 120 V (p-p) alternating voltage driver circuit. Provided that application frequencies are 1 - , the CMA voltage V21 will much smaller than --------------2 RC follow the input voltage Vin during its positive cycle while voltage V31 of the CMA remains at 0 V. During the negative cycle of Vin, voltage V31 will follow Vin and voltage V21 remains at 0 V. The product RC is the parallel connection of resistor R1 or R2 with the capacitance measured on the corresponding bender half. Parallel low-voltage control When a bender is used in an application far below its maximum specifications concerning force and/or stroke, the bender can be directly controlled by a low operating voltage, as shown in Fig.12. In this example both bender halves are connected in parallel and are driven by a single output alternating voltage source Vin. The voltages of both halves of the bender, V21 and V13, will alternate between positive and negative. Provided that the temperature of the device remains below 30 C a maximum alternating voltage of 20 V (p-p) is allowed, otherwise, in time, the device may lose part of its bending properties. Extended differential-voltage control The circuit shown in Fig.13 allows control of both halves of the bender over their full electrical operating range, the middle electrode 1 is driven by a switch or single-ended voltage amplifier of which the output can swing between the power supply rails of 35 V. Therefore, this output voltage can have a higher peak-to-peak value than the voltage difference applied to electrodes 2 and 3. Figure 13 shows that the Zener diode circuits will ensure that the operating voltage range of V21 or V13 remain within 10 to +60 V. This circuit may only be applied if the operating temperature of the device will not exceed 30 C, otherwise, in time, the device may lose part of its bending properties.

Bender actuators
Full differential voltage control When the operating temperatures of the device exceed 30 C the minimum permissible driving voltage for V21 and V13 must be reduced to 0 V. This means that the Zener diode circuits described in the Sections above are not permitted. Therefore the outer electrodes, numbers 2 and 3, are now connected directly to the supply rails which have slightly reduced voltage (see Fig.14). The voltages V21 and V13 will now remain within the permitted voltage range of 0 to +60 V. In relation to the application described above, the expected maximum stroke or force of the bender is reduced to within approximately 80 to 85%. However, the driving circuit cannot generate driving voltages which may result in electrical depolarization. Because the electrodes 2 and 3 are continuously connected to the power supply rails, the polarization of the bender is sustained. The circuit diagram shown in Fig.14 is recommended for most applications. Extended single-ended voltage control When a bender is toggled between two positions, of which one is defined as the natural power-off position (in a valve application for example), the bender can be controlled as shown in Fig.15. If the input voltage Vin is switched from 0 to +60 V, the voltage on the upper half of the bender V21 will follow because it is directly connected to the input. Simultaneously, the voltage V13 of the lower half of the bender is switched from 0 to 10 V. The transistor and Zener diode circuit assure a fast charge of the lower half of the bender until the voltage V13 almost reaches 10 V. At this voltage the transistor is switched off and the only power consumption is determined by the resistor R1 and the Zener diode D2. When the input voltage Vin switches from +60 to 0 V, diode D1 becomes a conductor and the lower half of the bender will be discharged. For the same reason as mentioned above, this circuit can only be used when the operating temperature of the device will not exceed 30 C. Single-side voltage control For higher operating temperatures the transistor and the Zener diode circuit shown in Fig.15 must be removed and electrode 3 of the bender should be connected to electrode 1 (see Fig.15). The lower half of the bender now makes no active contribution to the bending process and the applicable stroke and/or force of the bender will be reduced to approximately 40%.

WARNING Due to the high capacitance the energy content of these CMAs can be hazardous. CAUTION Exceeding the driving voltage limits can cause deterioration or depolarization of the material. MOUNTING The actuator can be mounted by clamping with or glue. The clamping gluing or surface should have flatness a least at of 20 m/mm. The bender design is optimized for a clamping of 3.5 mm.

1. Additional tests and requirements may be determined in co-operation with the customer. QUALITY Our piezo-ceramic multilayer products are produced to meet consistently high quality standards. High quality components in mass production require advanced production techniques as well as background knowledge of the product itself. The quality standard is achieved in our production centres by implementation of a quality assurance system based on Statistical Process Control (SPC). Statistical test results of each step in production are measured against built-in control, warning and reject levels. If an unfavourable trend is observed, corrective action is taken immediately. Quality is built-in by continuous improvement.
