Piezoceramic devices are subjected to high loads yet expected to perform with strong reliability. CeramTec has addressed this need by developing a range of special high-performance materials suitable for piezoelectric engineering. With their diverse characteristics and application features, our SONOX® material range has earned an excellent reputation in the world of sensors, actuators, and transducers.

Piezoceramic materials are classified according to their chemical composition on the one hand and according to specific application conditions on the other. Selection criteria include typical performance parameters as well as specific material behavior under high electrical and mechanical loads.

The forming methods used in the manufacture of piezoceramic parts are as diverse as their range of applications and the associated engineered materials. Over the years, CeramTec has refined these individual processes and methods to perfection. Operating sequences monitored to DIN ISO 9000 standard specifications form the basis of a manufacturing effort which meets the stringent quality requirements placed on automotive and safety applications. A customer-specific parts rate exceeding 90% testifies to the flexibility of our production system, which turns out individual prototypes with the same precision and reliability as volume-produced standard parts.

Typical shapes include discs, rectangular plates, rods, rings, cylinders, tubes and tube segments, balls, and spherical elements.
