(We are the only distributor for Sparkler piezoceramics in India, and we are also stockists for the German-based company Ceramtec.) A piezoelectric ceramic is a smart material that converts a mechanical effect (such as pressure, movement, or vibration) into an electrical signal and vice versa. Due to the electromechanical effect, piezoelectric ceramics are used in a wide range of applications such as motion sensors, watches, ultrasonic power transducers, lithotripters, ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonic welding, active vibration dampeners, high-frequency loudspeakers, actuators for atomic force microscopes, and many others. Lead zirconated titanite (PZT), barium titanite (BT), and strontium titanite (ST) are the most widely used piezoelectric ceramic materials.
