The ESPY31 Piezoelectric Polymer Meter is a high-precision testing device for characterizing piezoelectric polymer films, fibers, and membranes. Equipped with an integrated force measurement cell, it enables accurate determination of d31/d32 coefficients, polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis, and capacitance. Designed for ease of use, it offers reliable, repeatable results and can be flexibly integrated with the aixPES system for complete piezoelectric polymer characterization.
Sample holders for
Multi Layer Actuator
aixACCT Systems offers MLA and CMA sample holders for multilayer actuators, enabling reliable piezo and ferroelectric characterization across -100°C to 300°C. MLA holders use passive spring-based preloading for consistent force and high-frequency operation, while CMA holders support active force generation with aixCMA base systems.
Thin films & MEMS
The TFSHU is a versatile and advanced test fixture for electrical characterization of thin films and MEMS materials. It supports high-precision measurements across a wide temperature range with optional extensions like laser displacement, pyro analysis, and high voltage testing. With modular upgrades like Peltier cooling, poling fixtures, and MLCC testing, it’s ideal for actuator, sensor, and fatigue research applications.
Bulk Materials
Sample holder for piezoelectric bulk ceramic materials offer the simultaneous acquisition of electrical and electromechanical
data over a wide range of temperature. The heating and cooling unit is integrated into the sample holder, so no additional temperature chamber is necessary. These investigations are essential for the development of actuator materials for most of the applications, e.g. fuel injection systems for car engines.
