Precautions to be taken when using Multilayer Piezoelectric Actuators
(Please read these precautions before using our products)
1. Before using or designing a system using our products, read the precautions and specications (such as level of quality) for the
products you intend to use.
2. The main failures with multilayer piezeoelectric actuators are deterioration of insulation resistance, short-circuit, and open-circuit.
Before using the products, design systems carefully to ensure redundancy, prevention of the spread of re, and prevention of faulty
operation allowing for the occurrence of failures.
3. Use the products after checking the working conditions and rated performance of each multilayer piezoelectric actuator series.
Selection of AE series (resin coated type) or ASB series (metal sealed type) should be based on the intended working temperature
and humidity.
3. This manual is subject to change without notice. The content of this manual is based on data which is correct as of December,
