Description
Introduction
A Stripe Piezoelectric Actuator is also known as a bending actuator. Here, two thin layers of piezo ceramic are put together and bonded, usually with coinciding directions of polarization and which are connected in parallel. Whenever an electrical input is sent to the actuator, one layer contracts and the other expands. This causes the actuator to flex. The main use of a stripe actuator is to produce a response for an electrical signal in the form of a relatively large mechanical deflection. The actuators convert the electrical signals into linear motion with high resolution, force, and speed. The deflection produced in in case of a stripe actuator is much more than that produced by a stack actuator. The major applications of Stripe Actuators are in advanced research activities, positioning activities and precision motor control. Due to their accuracy, they are also used in robotics, textile monitoring through needle control, braille printing and others. Stripe Piezoelectric Actuators are also used to make or break electric connections in the switching devices, in accelerometers and some small volume pumping devices.
End-users
The end users of the Global Stripe Piezoelectric Actuator Market mainly include the Automotive Industry, Aviation, Medical, Aerospace and Consumer Electronics Industry.
Market Dynamics
Few factors promoting Global Stripe Piezoelectric Actuator Market are its applications in a diverse set of fields. The projected growth for the Global Piezoelectric Actuator market is at a CAGR of around 16.24% and is expected to reach around $47.72 Billion by the year 2021, and Stripe actuator will be a large part of it. Its fast delivery, competitive pricing, and availability of custom dimensions make it in demand in the market. Also, the surfaces of the Stripe Piezoelectric Actuators are protected from the environmental hazards, which make them a favoured choice among the users. However, there are certain limitations in this case too. One of the limitations is its limited travel, which ranges from 10 to 200 microns. If we want to increase the travel length, then the number of plates would have to be increased, which in turn will increase the cost. However, researchers are working on reducing the cost which will remove the hindrance to the growth of the industry.
