Vibration is a commonly encountered problem in many devices or equipment used in various industries. The goal of anti-vibration devices is to reduce or eliminate this unwanted vibration. Active vibration control is based on the use of sensors, actuators, and appropriate control circuitry to sense the unwanted vibration and then produce a real-time counter vibration to decrease or cancel the unwanted vibration. Piezoceramic elements are the most effective devices to achieve anti-vibration control (there are no movable parts like in a motor) and offer the advantages of low profile, fast response time and low power consumption.
Unictron’s engineering teams have been working in the piezoceramic industry for more than 25 years. As a major piezoceramic supplier in Taiwan, we can offer piezo elements with different shapes, sizes, thicknesses and capacitances for this kind of application. We have a sound background in materials formulations and ceramic processing technologies. With advanced characterization and manufacturing facilities, we are able to develop and mass produce various dimensions of piezoceramic elements with high performance to fit your needs.
