Catalog of NEC Tokin multilayer piezoelectric actuators covering series specifications, performance data and usage precautions.
The NEC Tokin catalog presents four series of multilayer piezoelectric actuators – resin‑coated AE series and metal‑sealed ASB, ASL and AHB series – with details on dimensions, electrical performance and recommended applications. It includes safety precautions, reliability data and a guide to proper system design.
Technical tables list standard parts, displacement, generated force, resonance frequency and maximum driving voltage for each model, while characteristic graphs illustrate voltage‑displacement and force‑displacement relationships.
| Maximum driving voltage | 150 VDC |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature range | -25 to +85 °C |
| Typical generated force | 3,500 N/cm² |
| MTTF (reliability) | 36,000 hours at 85 °C, 100 V |
The main failures are deterioration of insulation resistance, short‑circuit, and open‑circuit.
Metal case type, ASB, ASL and AHB series are recommended for high humidity.
