PI offers the largest selection of research and industrial-reliability Piezo Actuators and Translators (linear actuators) worldwide. In addition to hundreds of standard models and variations, we manufacture custom designs tailored to customers’ requirements.

Our PICMA® actuators are the only ceramic insulated piezo actuators available and provide the longest lifetime, the largest operating temperature range and better vacuum compatibility than conventional polymer insulated actuators.
PI is highly vertically integrated, controlling each manufacturing step from piezo raw materials to finished systems. Learn more on piezo technology in our
