Piezo-pneumatic technology explained

Hoerbiger-Origa has published a new overview leaflet to introduce the concept behind and potential for its ground breaking piezo-pneumatic technology.

Hoerbiger-Origa has published a new overview leaflet to introduce the concept behind and potential for its ground breaking piezo-pneumatic technology The core of piezo technology is a multilayered bending element that deflects when subjected to a tiny voltage, rather like a bimetallic strip in miniature

This effect is converted into either digital or proportional switching of the air or gas supply.

The minute power consumption of piezo elements makes the technology ideal for intrinsically safe, process and mobile applications, while its reliability and precision has already made it a firm favourite for medical gas and respiration equipment.

The leaflet includes a review of some of the many industrial and nonindustrial applications.

Hoerbiger-Origa can supply piezo elements in three forms: in its basic form it is integrated with a miniature 3/2 valve; this can be mounted with a standard pneumatic valve to act as a piezo pilot operator, or Hoerbiger-Origa's design team can work with OEMs and end users to develop bespoke macro solutions for particular applications.
