PI Ceramic, a division of Physik Instrumente, is a leading manufacturer of high-performance piezoceramic materials, components, and ultrasonic transducers for demanding industrial, medical, and scientific applications. With decades of experience in piezo technology, PI Ceramic develops and produces piezo components ranging from basic elements and custom-machined parts to complex assemblies and application-specific transducers.

For the ultrasound community, PI Ceramic offers deep expertise in materials engineering, design support, and manufacturing of piezoceramic solutions for sensing, actuation, and acoustic generation. PI Ceramic is a leader in lead-free piezo materials including BNT and KNN materials. Its portfolio supports applications including medical ultrasound, nondestructive testing, sonar, flow measurement, precision dispensing, energy harvesting, and industrial ultrasonic systems. By combining in-house material development with advanced processing and characterization capabilities, PI Ceramic is able to optimize performance parameters such as sensitivity, coupling behavior, frequency response, and long-term stability.

A key strength of PI Ceramic is close collaboration with customers throughout the development process. From prototype to series production, the company supports OEMs and research organizations with tailored solutions designed to meet highly specific technical and integration requirements. This includes expertise in multilayer actuators, bulk ceramics, rings, discs, plates, tubes, spheres, and customized ultrasonic transducer elements.

As part of the PI Group, PI Ceramic benefits from a strong global technology network focused on precision motion, nanopositioning, and piezo-based innovation. At IUS in Raleigh, we look forward to discussing new challenges and opportunities in ultrasonic and piezoelectric technology, and to helping enable the next generation of high-performance ultrasound systems.
