A piezoelectric device is a type of transducer that can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa, based on the piezoelectric effect. This effect occurs in certain materials, such as crystals and ceramics, where mechanical deformation (strain) generates an electric charge and applying an electric field can lead to mechanical deformation. Piezoelectric devices are widely used in various applications, including inkjet printing technology, which is commonly used in pharmaceutical packaging printing.
In the context of pharmaceutical packaging printing, a piezoelectric device is often used to control droplet ejection in an inkjet printing system. Here's how it works
