Page 7: Principles Of Operation
4. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The ultrasonic power supply transforms AC line power to a 20 KHz signal that drives a piezoelectric converter/transducer. This electrical signal is converted by the transducer to a mechanical vibration due to the characteristics of the internal piezoelectric crystals. The vibration is amplified and transmitted down the length of the horn/probe where the tip longitudinally expands and contracts. -
