American Piezo Ceramics Home Page APC International, Ltd. is a quality manufacturer of piezoelectric ceramics and assemblies, high density high purity alumina, and a supplier of engineering design services. Piezoelectric ceramics are manufactured in many custom complex shapes from a series of lead zirconate titanate compositions.
Piezoelectric ceramics transform electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa.
Alumina ceramics are manufactured in standard or intricate shapes by pressing , casting, or injection molding. Alumina ceramics are used for their abrasion resistance, high temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and electrical insulating properties. APC International is also the North American representative for piezoelectric ceramics and bimorphs produced by Philips Components, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Philips' materials are high density, fine grained piezoelectric ceramics ranging in dielectric constant from 1000 to 3900. Please contact APC for detailed properties of these materials, bimorphs, actuators, and piezoelectric transformers.
