Gluing Stranded Wires to a Piezo Actuator (Only Models Without
Stranded Wires)
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock when stranded wires become detached from the piezo actuator!
In the case of unsuitable adhesives or improper gluing, the adhesive connection can fail,
especially in the case of mechanical stress, causing stranded wires to become detached from
the actuator. If stranded wires detach from the piezo actuator during operation, touching the
stranded wires or other conductive parts that come into contact with them can cause minor
injuries from electric shock.
Use only suitable adhesives (e.g., electrically conductive, silver-filled epoxy resin adhesive)
to glue the stranded wires to the piezo actuator.
Use only suitable stranded wires that meet the applicable standards for the conditions of
use.
Make sure that the adhesion surfaces are dry, dust-free, and grease-free.
Avoid mechanical stress on the adhesive connections.
If stranded wires become detached during operation, switch off the electronics
immediately.
NOTICE
Damage due to mechanical stress on the adhesive connection!
Moving stranded wires can cause mechanical stress on the adhesive connection and damage
the piezo actuator.
Avoid tensile stress and shear forces on the adhesive connections.
NOTICE
Short-circuit damage due to improper gluing!
Improper gluing (e.g., unfavorable spreading of the electrically conductive adhesive) can cause
the piezo actuator and the connected electronics to be damaged by short-circuits.
When gluing the stranded wires to the electrodes, make sure that the adhesive does not
spread beyond the glueing point at any time.
INFORMATION
For optimum electrical contacting, it is recommended to use the following materials:
Silver-plated stranded wires
Electrically conductive, silver-filled epoxy resin adhesive
