ABOUT HPOWER
hpower actuators combine fastest response times in μs, superior kHz dynamics, high force generation in the range of
tens of kN and nanometer precision in a way that is unmatched by any other linear driving system. The actuation can
be obtained without any mechanical wear, making the actuators extremely durable. hpower products include ring
and stack type actuators, as well as shakers and shock generators. hpower is the result of the collaboration between
piezosystem jena and Piezomechanik GmbH and therefore combines centuries of piezo expertise with new innovations.
A piezo-stack can be described as a solid bar of PZT-ceram- active bar can be used for a single ram element with a near-
ics. When this PZT bar is electrically charged rapidly, the in- ly doubled energy and impulse output over identical impulse
ternal stress jumps instantaneously to a high level: The initial content. This allows sophisticated designs for calibration ex-
