Lead Zirconate Titanate Piezoelectric Ceramic for High-Power Acoustic Radiating Transducers
Piezo Technologies' K-270 is a modified lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic developed for use in high power acoustic radiating transducers. The material is highly resistant to depoling under conditions of severe mechanical stress and high voltage electric drive. The dielectric losses remain at low levels with high electric fields.
