Piezoelectric Ceramic Disc PZT Disc Dia. 100 mm x 5 mm Packing

The disc is individually secured in a custom-moulded foam carrier and then sealed within an anti-static pouch to prevent mechanical damage and contamination. It is recommended for storage in a temperature-controlled, low-humidity environment to maintain material stability. Options for customised labelling and secondary protective enclosures are available for applications with specific handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the controlled sintering process affect the performance of the ceramic disc in piezoelectric applications?
A1: The controlled sintering process minimises microstructural variations and ensures phase uniformity, which is critical for maintaining consistent electromechanical conversion. This precise manufacturing step contributes to performance stability and enhances the overall functionality in sensing and actuation systems.

Q2: What measures are implemented during production to ensure dimensional uniformity of the disc?
A2: Dimensional uniformity is achieved through calibrated cutting and post-sintering inspection using precision metrology tools. This verification step is essential to meet stringent application requirements where exact dimensions influence the component’s integration and performance.

Q3: Can the disc be adapted for application in environments with varying temperature conditions?
A3: Yes, the material’s design includes an evaluation of thermal stability. However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to operate within specified temperature ranges and to employ additional thermal management solutions when integrating the disc into systems exposed to high or fluctuating temperatures.
