Morgan Electro Ceramics has launched its new Piezo unimorph for manufacturers of industrial process equipment. The Unimorph has been developed for applications requiring a single actuation, such as the opening or closing of a valve. Unlike bimorphs, which consist of two active Piezo plates separated by an inactive inner layer, the Unimorph has a single plate mounted on carbon fibre. The Unimorph can be used in any application that requires uni-directional force. The Unimorph is available in a range of sizes from 15 to 45mm length and 2 to 15mm width. It has been fitted with a safety electrode for operation in severe applications where the Piezo plates are stretched to the limits of breaking.
