Flexmorphs™ - Piezoelectric Flexure Elements
|
Flexure elements have two layers of Lead Zirconate Titanate material bonded together, with electrodes in series or parallel configuration. These elements offer large displacements for positioning devices or actuators.

Note:
- Flexmorphs are made with BM500 material
- Maximum recommended voltage: 100V
- Total thickness is 0.5mm
- Force is expressed as blocked force (gms) required to reduce the deflection to zero.
- The specifications shown in this table are for actuators mounted in a cantilever configuration.
- Capacitance values are nominal (±20%). Can be sorted to tighter tolerances.
- Special Flexmorphs are available on request.
