INTRODUCTION
Increasingly, we can see the unique properties of mechanical vibration and ultrasonic waves put to use in many ways. And the
single most important key to the effective monitoring or use of vibration is the transducer. Today's transducers are called on for
standards of performance that are higher than
ever before.
For best results in any application, the piezoelectric materials in the transducer should be selected with the specific use in
mind. This catalog contains a wealth
of information to help you evaluate transducer characteristics.
And when it comes to the materials themselves, look to NEC TOKIN's NEPEC® NPM piezoelectric ceramics. Using zicron
and lead titanate as the main components, NEPEC materials have a wealth of features:
1) A wide selection range, especially for mechanical
characteristics and degree of electromechanical coupling.
2) High stability against temperature and humidity variations
and aging.
3) Remarkably fine ceramics that can be machined into a
variety of sizes and shapes.
4) Excellent resistance to voltage, permitting transducers
with polarization in any direction.
5) A wide range of potential uses.
This catalog describes NEC TOKIN's standard piezoelectric ceramics, and it also describes NEC TOKIN's line of transducers.
If you cannot find the desired material characteristics or transducer for your application in these pages, please contact us
directly; our engineering staff can work with you to develop materials for your purpose.

Transducers for Cleaning Equipment
2S
Outline
In the past, transducers for cleaning equipment have
been found almost exclusively in ultrasonic cleaners
for industrial and business use. Today, however, small
cleaning equipment for glasses, false teeth, gemstones,
7 etc. is increasingly found in individual households as
well. NEC TOKIN's transducers for cleaning
equipment utilize our N-6 material, providing
ultrasonic generators that are compact and
extraordinarily temperature-resistant.
