![]() With the new PiezoHapt and PowerHap product families, TDK can now provide cutting-edge high-performance haptic solutions for a very wide range of applications. Announced in November 2016, PowerHap types feature higher displacement and the highest acceleration and force, all in a single component with integrated sensor functionality, and are suitable especially for applications in vehicles, household appliances, game controllers, industrial equipment and more. The PiezoHapt actuator is a new addition to the lineup of TDK’s actuators with haptic feedback, which also includes the PowerHap series. PiezoHapt is an ideal component for providing haptic feedback to user actions in the displays of smartphones and tablets. At a frequency of 200 Hz (sine-wave) and a voltage of 24 V peak, the component offers a typical displacement of 55 µm. The new PHUA8060-35A-33-000 type has a footprint of 80 mm x 60 mm (vibration plate). The actuator can be driven with low voltages of ≤24 V and can produce a wide variety of vibration patterns, depending on the amplitude and frequency of the voltage applied. Shipments of samples will begin in March 2017. Moreover, thanks to its fast rise time, PiezoHapt represents a power-saving solution compared to conventional solutions. With a thickness of a mere 0.35 mm the new haptic actuator is much thinner than conventional eccentric rotary motors and linear resonant actuators, and one of the world’s thinnest haptic devices. PiezoHapt has a unimorph design consisting of a multilayer piezo element bonded to one side of a vibration plate. TDK now sells a new haptic component - a new ultra-thin PiezoHapt actuator featuring a short response time of just 4 msec.
