Protection At Sea

Recognise, communicate and protect over and under the sea

Piezo and transducer ceramics

With three production sites – two in the UK and one in Germany – for piezoceramic parts and -transducers, CeramTec is well equipped to provide excellent products for defence applications on land, in the air, over and under the sea.

With a selection of more than 20 different piezo material formulations, we are able to offer customer specific solutions for every application. We offer high – volume – highly automized production with integrated 100 % in-line inspection as well as craftsmanship production of special components with complex shapes in low volumes. Dimensional capabilities reach from sub 1 mm to in excess of 250 mm diameter. Our metallisation solutions include thick film silver processes, evaporation and plating using Ni, Ni/Au, Ni/Cr/Sn.

 

Various kind of geometries are possible like: 

Discs - Rings - Tubes - Plates - Blocks - Hemispheres - Bimorphs - Complete transducers
