What are Cantilever-Type Ceramic Microactuators?

NGK's Cantilever-Type Ceramic Microactuators integrate high-strength zirconia ceramic and piezoelectric thin films.

Features of Cantilever-Type Ceramic Microactuators

• High shock resistance
  Integration of piezoelectric ceramic and tough thin plates (zirconia ceramic, metal, engineering plastic) results in piezoelectric actuators with high shock resistance.
• High durability
  A structure free of organic adhesives (in the case of zirconia ceramic thin plates) ensures high durability.
• High cleanliness (low particle emissions, low outgassing)
  Design and materials result in low particle and gas emissions—ideal for demanding HDD applications.
