Though the cause of degradation of insulation has not been clarified perfectly, it has been found that the failure rate varies greatly between statistic uses (DC voltage application) and dynamic uses (pulse voltage application). Like other electrical components, piezo actuators can be influenced by humidity as well as applied voltage and ambient temperature. NEC TOKIN has added the metal sealed type piezo actuators featuring high reliability by eliminating influence of the ambient atmosphere. This section describes reliability guidelines for static and dynamic usages of the resin-coated and metal sealed types actuators. Reliability of our multilayer piezoelectric actuators is represented by MTTF (mean time to failure) in case of static usage. Though the number of repetitions is considered to be used to represent the reliability in the case of dynamic usage, the accurate relationship between the indicator and cause has not been determined because of various influential causes and the mutual action between them. For the present, therefore, only the obtained data and our concept are described. ʢ1ʣ Resin-coated Type ʢAE Seriesʣ a. DC voltage application The acceleration factors have been obtained empirically for each of the drive voltage, ambient temperature and relative humidity based on many experimental result. The MTTFr in actual applications is estimated using equation (1) below with MTTFs observed under accelerated condition as the reference value. Reliability MTTFr=MTTFsʷAvʷAhʷAt • • • (1) [Example] The following calculation is made for the case of use at 25ˆ, 60% RH and 100 V: MTTFr : Estimated value MTTFs : Reference value (=500h) Av : Acceleration factor for drive voltage= Ah : Acceleration factor for relative humidity= At : Acceleration factor for ambient temperature=1.5 MTTFr =500ʷ ʷ ʷ1.5 =500ʷ3.66ʷ7.29ʷ1.84 24,500h (2.8years) Vr 150 3.2 Hr 4.9 100 150 3.2 4.9 40–Tr 40–25 Vr : Actual voltage (V) Hr : Actual relative humidity (RH%) Tr : Actual ambient temperature(ˆ) b. Pulse voltage application When this element is driven by a pulse voltage, temperature rises as a result of heating due to dielectric loss of ceramics. Therefore, the element is not likely to be influenced by the humidity, thus extending the service life greatly. Since this effect is affected by the element shape, pulse waveform and frequency, it cannot be calculated by an equation as in the case of DC voltage application. In NEC TOKINʼs testing on the AE0203D08, there was no failure confirmed after 0-150 V rectangular pulse wave was applied with 500 Hz for 500 hours (equivalent to 900 million pulses were applied) . Please pay attention to the physical damage due to ringing phenomenon caused by the fixed method of the element and the speed of the voltage rise.

DC voltage application MTTFr of the metal sealed type under the actual operating conditions is calculated/estimated from the reference MTTFs and the acceleration factor as in the case of the resin-coated type. However since the internal element is sealed from the atmosphere, it is not influenced by the atmospheric humidity. Therefore, equation (2) below is used. MTTFr =MTTFsʷAvʷAt • • • (2) [Example] The following calculation is made for use at 25(c and 150 V: MTTFr : Estimated value MTTFs : Reference value (=36,000h) Av : Acceleration factor for drive voltage= At :Acceleration factor for ambient temperature=1.5 MTTFr=36,000ʷ ʷ1.5 =36,000ʷ0.44ʷ11.3 179,000h (20.4years) Vr 100 150 100 85–Tr 85–25 Vr : Actual operating voltage (V) Tr : Actual operating temperature (ˆ) b. Pulse voltage application Like the resin-coated type, it is extremely difficult to estimate reliability by using an equation in the metal sealed type because of the influence of the pulse waveform, frequency, etc. in addition to the voltage and ambient temperature. In NEC TOKINʼs testing on the ASB170C801NP0, there was no failure confirmed up to 1000 hours (equivalent to 100 million pulses were applied) under the conditions below.

Reference: Guide for tolerance of twisting and tension Reference value Remarks Twisting force 3×10 N・m or less For an actuator which generates a force of 800 N (compression resistance)Tension 50 N or less ⃝ Install the actuator so that the center axis of generated displacement is aligned with the center axis of the load. a. Resin-coated type
  • Epoxy-based adhesives are recommended for bonding. Select adhesives that have high rigidity and allow minimum thickness so that the generation force and displacement cannot be deteriorated. Also do not form adhesives at the side of actuator.
  • When thermosetting resin is used, perform polarizing treatment (see the caution section) again after the adhesive is settled.
  • The resin-coated type is weak to tensile force because of its structure and may be broken when tensile force is applied onto the device. Using the device in the state that constantly applies compression is effective against any mechanical damage. The pressure applied to this element should be kept at 20 to 50% of the force generated by this element (compression resistance).
  • Install the element so that the axis of generated displacement is vertical to the mounting surface. b. Metal sealed type
  • Select the mounting bracket (female thread type or flange type) according to the mounting method, and install the element utilizing the bracket.
  • Fix the element securely so that the generated force and displacement cannot be deteriorated.
  • Connect the driven item at the displacement generating end after securing the mounting portion so that it avoids unnecessary stress applied at the time of installation.
  • Though this product is designed to apply a compressive force to the internal element by the metal case, avoid any usages that cause bending, twisting, or tension force when the device is in use Example of Actuator mounting: Guide to Use Driving Method: ⃝ Connect the red lead wire to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply. Also prevent reverse voltage application. ⃝ Basically the voltage controls the aimed displacement and generated force. In driving, however, it is also necessary to take ringing due to the resonance or hysteresis of the element itself into consideration. In pulse driving, it is further necessary to pay sufficient attention to heat generation due to dielectric loss, charge/discharge current due to the capacitive component and the power output impedance as well.

  • Before using the product in this catalog, please read "Precautions" and other safety precautions listed in the printed version catalog. 2011.06.22 9307MPAVOL06E1106H2 When using our products, the following precautions should be taken. ʢ1ʣ Safety designing of an apparatus or a system allowing for failures of electronic components used in the system In general, failures will occur in electronic components at a certain probability. NEC TOKIN makes every effort to improve the quality and reliability of electronic component products. However, it is impossible to completely eliminate the probability of failures. Therefore, when using NEC TOKIN\ s electronic component products, systems should be carefully designed to ensure redundancy in the event of an accident which would result in injury or death, fire, or social damage, to ensure the prevention of the spread of fire, and the prevention of faulty operation. ʢPlease refer to pre- cautions to be taken when using multilayer piezoelectric actuators for the details of failures.ʣ ʢ2ʣ Quality level of various kinds of parts, and equipment in which the parts can be utilized Electronic components have a standard quality level unless otherwise specified. NEC TOKIN classifies the level of quality of electronic component products into three levels, in order from a lower level, a standard quality level, a special quality level, and a custom quality level in which a customer individually specifies a quality assurance program.
