Piezoelectric Extending Transducer (T220-H4BR-1305YE) Meta||Unit Cost @ Qty. x25||$79.86 Thin vacuum sputtered nickel electrodes

Thin vacuum sputtered nickel electrodes produce extremely low current leakage and low magnetic permeability

the piece expands along the axis of polarization (thickness direction) and contracts perpendicular to the axis of polarization (radial direction)

is typical

or flexural elements

Extender motion on the order of microns to tens of microns

If an electric field is applied which makes the element thinner, extension along the length and width results. Typically, only motion along one axis is utilized. Extender motion on the order of microns to tens of microns, and force from tens to hundreds of Newtons is typical.
