  • Page 16: Technical Features

    3 Product Description Technical Features 3.6.1 PICMA® Piezo Actuators P-63x positioners are driven by PICMA® piezo actuators. PICMA® actuators have all-ceramic insulation and their performance and lifetime are therefore far superior to conventional actuators. The ceramic insulation layer protects the monolithic piezoceramic block against humidity and failure due to increased leakage current.
