PowerHap Piezo Actuators

For a great haptic feedback

PowerHap actuators deliver incredibly fast haptic responses over high frequency bandwidth in a compact design. This is the perfect combination for crisp and sharp active haptic feedback. PowerHap offers an actuator for the most demanding and trending applications in automotive, ICT, and industrial sectors, such as infotainment displays, buttons, modules, virtual reality (VR), and stylus, among others.

Learn more and find the right PowerHap for your haptic application.

Why PowerHap?

The multilayer piezoceramic delivers an outstanding fast and precise displacement, ideal for creating sharp and crisp active haptics.
The stainless-steel bows (or cymbals) on both sides of the actuator work as displacement amplifiers.

Its high frequency bandwidth enables endless vibrotactile and surface effects by adjusting the frequency, the signal, and the amplitude.

PowerHap can also work as a sensor: When applying pressure on the bows an electric charge is generated. This optimizes the system cost as no additional force sensing is required.

We speed-up your haptics project!
It doesn’t matter in which kind of application you would like to implement haptics. TDK ensures the success of your haptic application in a fast way supporting the mechanical and software integration together with our various development tools.
