Tolerances
We provide piezo ceramic elements manufactured to the
industry tolerance values listed here. We can prepare elements to tighter
tolerances on request. Items also are available "as
fired" (no OD, ID, length or width machining), when
dimensional requirements are not critical.
|
Common tolerances for electrical / piezoelectric
characteristics are:
- capacitance: ±20%
- d33 value: ±20%
- frequency: ±5% (to ±0.5% on request)
|
|
We will attach electrical leads on request. Common leads
are:
- 26AWG to 32AWG / ranging from 2" to 6" in length
- Stock size is 32AWG / 6" in length
- Other sizes are available upon request
Please be specific when requesting parts,
tolerances, or electrode patterns. Provide drawings or sketches
for parts or electrode patterns, and include ID
tolerance if requesting rings or cylinders (tubes). For custom
electrical leads, please specify AWG and length and provide a
drawing showing the desired locations.
