* The product portfolio includes ceramic, aluminum electrolytic and film capacitors, ferrites, inductors, high-frequency components such as surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter products and modules, piezo and protection components, and sensors.A piezoelectric microscope nanofocusing device - called a Z motor - provides 10 times faster response and resolution than classic motor-driven units. In fiscal 2016, TDK posted total sales of USD 10.2 billion and employed about 92,000 people worldwide. The company has a network of design and manufacturing locations and sales offices in Asia, Europe, and in North and South America. TDK focuses on demanding markets in the areas of information and communication technology and consumer, automotive and industrial electronics. TDK’s portfolio includes electronic components, modules and systems* marketed under the product brands TDK and EPCOS, power supplies, magnetic application products as well as energy devices, flash memory application devices, and others.

It was established in 1935 to commercialize ferrite, a key material in electronic and magnetic products. TDK Corporation is a leading electronics company based in Tokyo, Japan. Extremely low insertion height of 1.6 mm and 2.4 mm, respectivelyįor further information contact Sales department at About TDK Corporation.Large displacement of 100 µm and 200 µm, respectively.Very large forces of 5 N and 20 N, respectively.Vehicles, smartphones and tablets, household appliances, ATMs and vending machines, game controllers, industrial equipment and medical devices.Applications for the piezo actuator with haptic feedback can be found, for example, in vehicles, smartphones and tablets, household appliances, ATMs and vending machines, game controllers, industrial equipment and medical devices. In this way, the new actuator enables designers to custom develop high-definition haptic feedback profiles that users expect from cutting-edge HMIs. They thus have no significant frequency or amplitude limitations for customized haptic feedback to key human mechanoreceptors. Unlike conventional electromagnetic solutions the piezo actuator with haptic feedback can excite the entire stimulation range between 1 Hz and 1000 Hz. Despite their compact dimensions of 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm x 1.6 mm and 26 mm x 26 mm x 2.4 mm, respectively, the new actuators can generate forces of up to 5 N and 20 N.Ĭompared with conventional electromagnetic solutions such as eccentric rotary motors (ERMs) and linear resonant actuators (LRAs), the piezo actuator with haptic feedback features the highest acceleration and force, the lowest insertion height and the fastest response time, all in a single component with integrated sensor functionality: Under a load of 0.1 kg, the 5 N type delivers an acceleration of 5.0 g with a rise time of 2 ms while the 20 N type features 15.0 g after just 1 ms. The actuator is initially available in two types, a 5 N type that achieves a displacement of up to 100 µm and a 20 N type that can achieve a displacement of more than 200 µm. The new component employs cymbals on both sides of the plate as levers to amplify the contraction by a factor of 15 in the z axis. When activated, the piezo plates only expand minimally in the z axis, but due to the constant volume of the piezo effect contract simultaneously in both the x and y axes. Thanks to the multilayer technology the actuators can be driven with relatively low operating voltages up to 120 V. The new actuator is based multilayer piezo plates with cost-effective copper inner electrodes.

The compact and powerful actuator enhances the sensory experience of HMIs significantly by engaging the full range of human tactile sensitivity. The new actuator features unrivalled performance in terms of acceleration, force and response time, and thus offers an unprecedented quality of haptic feedback. TDK Corporation presents the innovative piezo actuator with haptic feedback and integrated sensor functionality. You may click the link to switch the active language.
