This technology is more efficient than having a vibrating piezoelectric element at the bottom of the liquid reservoir, and thereby shorter treatment times are also achieved.

When the electrical pulse is reversed, the piezoelectric elements bend the opposite way very rapidly, propelling the ink out of the nozzles at high speed.

This printer featured a pioneering piezoelectric print head that was made of glass and had vertical-firing piezoelectric elements.

The transducer sends an acoustic signal (by means of piezoelectric elements) to the transponder, which is triggered to reply.

The piezoelectric element expands when voltage is applied, causing liquid to be dispensed through the nozzle.

Depending on the design of a sensor, different "modes" to load the piezoelectric element can be used: longitudinal, transversal and shear.

In the automotive industry, piezoelectric elements are used to monitor combustion when developing internal combustion engines.

The amount of charge depends on the geometrical dimensions of the respective piezoelectric element.

When a physical force is exerted on the accelerometer, the seismic mass loads the piezoelectric element according to Newton's second law of motion ().

This technique uses piezoelectric positioning elements (in addition to conventional motors for coarse adjustments), and senses the distance between the surfaces using optical interferometry.
