Piezoelectric Ceramics

Overview

From military sonar and acoustics to medical imaging, cancer therapy and energy harvesting, L3Harris designs piezoelectric ceramic shapes for a range of applications. L3Harris has more than 70 years of material science expertise in formulating high-performance piezoelectric ceramics, including lead zirconate titanate (PZT), lead titanate (PT) and lead magnesium niobate (PMN) materials for military and commercial customers.

With a highly specialized team, L3Harris produces the widest range of piezoelectric materials of any major U.S. manufacturer. L3Harris offers a broad range of uniform, fine-grain, high-density and high-performance piezoelectric ceramic powder formulations suited to an even broader range of uses.

These include transducers for military applications for surface and undersea domains, as well as highly customized materials for medical devices that support imaging, wound care, drug delivery and cancer treatment, among others. By harvesting energy from vibration or pressure that would otherwise be wasted, L3Harris’ piezoelectric ceramics also help reduce dependence on batteries by providing power for wireless sensor networks, industrial transit and commercial automotive and aerospace applications.
