PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN USING MULTILAYER
PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATORS
（Please
read these precautions before using our products）
1. Before using our products or designing a system using our products, read
the precautions and specifications
（such
as level of quality）for the products
you intend to use on the last page of this manual.
2. The main failures with multilayer piezoelectric actuators are deterioration of
insulation resistance, short-circuit, and open-circuit.
Before using the products, design systems carefully to ensure redundancy,
prevention of the spread of fire, and prevention of faulty operation allowing
for the occurrence of failures.
3. Use the products after checking the working conditions and rated performance
of each of the multilayer piezoelectric actuator series.
Selection of AE series
（a
resin-coated type）or ASB, ASL and AHB series
（a
metal-sealed type）should be based on the intended working temperature
and humidity.

Resin coated type multilayer piezoelectric actuators
AE Series
Outline
Multilayer piezoelectric actuators are ceramic elements
for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy
such as displacement or force by utilizing the
piezoelectric longitudinal effect.
NEC TOKIN's multilayer piezoelectric actuators are
produced based on our unique element structure
design and using originally developed piezoelectric
ceramic materials with high electrostrictive factors.
Compared to conventional piezoelectric actuators,
they are smaller in size but can generate higher
displacement and force at low voltages.
Especially, the resin-coated AE series actuators
feature compact size and wide variety in shape for
applications such as ultra-fine positioning mechanisms
and drive sources.
Features
