An ultrasonic transducer is an energy conversion device that converts input electrical power into mechanical power (i.e., ultrasound) for transmission, while it itself consumes only a minimal amount of power.
The ultrasonic generator (also known as an ultrasonic power supply) converts 220V AC into high-frequency current, which is transmitted to the piezoelectric ceramic. The piezoelectric ceramic, resonating at ultrasonic frequencies, uses the piezoelectric effect to convert electrical signals into linear mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are then amplified (or attenuated) in amplitude via an ultrasonic horn before being delivered to the tool head for operation. Ultrasonic transducers generally come in two forms: magnetostrictive and piezoelectric ceramic. Our company exclusively uses piezoelectric ceramic transducers.
