CEDRAT Drivers Selection Guide

To drive your electronics for the APAs, MLAs or PPAs CEDRAT has a variety of drivers that are arranged around the 75 family of 19 inch electronic cards as well as a 19 inch rack to include:

• An AC/DC or a DC/DC converter necessary to the stabilize high voltage.
• An amplifier to driver the piezoelectric actuators

If a a fine positioning is required, it may be necessary to use a closed loop:

• A position sensor and its electronics
• A closed loop servo controller

If a PC piloting and controlling is required, additional cards can be integrated in the rack.

To meet the needs of a variety of piezoelectric actuation, you have a wide assortment of configurations to choose from:

• Stand alone (CA45): Low cost & compact (1 channel) linear voltage amplifier for precise and quasi-static actuation. For more details
• Precise(75 Family): Linear voltage amplifier for a precise actuation. Note that 3 different versions (A, B or C) are available depending on the working frequency requested for the piezoelectric actuator. To see more about click here.

  • Standard Package : Allows you to customize or buy all your controllers in one rack.

• On/Off Applications(SP75): Switching power amplifier for a fast actuation. Note that 2 different versions (A or B) are available depending on the capacitance of the piezoelectric actuator.  To learn more, click here.
