PICA Piezoelectric Stack Actuators

Stack, Power and Thru

PICA piezoelectric linear actuators in stacked design are very reliable and feature a large specific displacement. The operating voltage is 1000 V.
 

  • PICA Stack actuators provide high forces.
  • PICA Thru feature an inner hole, for applying a pretension or as clear aperture in optical applications.
  • PICA Power piezo actuators are made of a piezo material that allows for a higher operating temperature and thus higher dynamics.
