EDO Piezoelectric Ceramic Technology utilizes solid state actuators and sensors to solve a wide variety of active vibration control problems. These materials and devices possess piezoelectric properties whereby an electrical charge is produced for an applied mechanical stress (the Generator Effect) and conversely, a mechanical stress is produced for an applied electrical charge (the Motor Effect). This piezoelectric effect is reciprocal.

Piezoelectric Amplifier Model JEP-400A

The JEP Series Amplifier is designed to drive high voltage ceramic actuators at low to moderate frequencies. This model is capable of driving capacitance loads of up to 1 F and delivering 15 watts of power. this amplifier utilizes switching technology to minimize package size, weight and heating. Also, a positive electrical bias to the actuator load is inherent in the design for increased actuator performance and reliability at high driving fields. The JEP-400A is a half bridge configuration that produces up to 400 volts peak-to-peak from DC to 500 Hz. For driving piezoelectric transducers (stacks, bending elements, patches) Active vibration control development Active structural control development A BNC connector is provided for the single channel input. A TNC connector is provided for single channel output. For simplicity and ease of use, the amplifier has a fixed gain which is factory set during amplifier calibration.
