PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate)

Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is a ceramic material that can convert electrical energy into mechanical movement and vice versa, making it a kind of "smart" material. It is widely used in sensors, actuators, and ultrasonic devices thanks to its strong piezoelectric properties. When an electric voltage is applied, PZT changes shape slightly, and when it is deformed, it generates an electric charge. Its versatility, reliability, and high performance make it essential in medical imaging (like ultrasound), industrial sensors, and precision positioning systems.
