Piezoelectric Spheres & Hemispheres

Piezoceramic Hollow Spheres, Hemispheres, Focus Bowls

Fields of Application

Medical HIFU
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Sonar Transducers
Hydrophones

PI Ceramic develops and produces customer-specific semi- and hollow spheres as well as focus bowls in a variety of geometries and electrode designs, e.g. with and without contacting. From miniaturized spheres for medical technology purposes to large components for hydroacoustic applications and the generation of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), piezo spheres offer high sensitivity and durability.

Typical Configurations

Customer-Specific Designs on Request

  • Geometry variations e.g. collar, flattening, phases, spheres with or without hole
  • Focus bowls with customized diameters
  • Various electrode designs, e.g. wrap-around electrodes or laser structuring
  • Geometry-dependent setting of the frequency
  • Contacting by soldered strands or wires
