Because they have no center shim reinforcement

This allows the user to experiment with using the device in series or in parallel and also in bending mode or in extension

A 2-layer piezoelectric actuator produces curvature when one piezo layer expands while the other layer contracts

These transducers are often referred to as benders

Piezoelectric Plate (T109-A5NO-1815) Model:Single Plate - $176 Refer to Section 6 forPSI 5A4E is an industry type 5A (Navy Type II) piezoceramic. This plate is a non magnetic silver electrode. It operates over a wide temperature range and is relatively temperature insensitive. When an electric field having the same polarity and orientation as the original polarization field is placed across the thickness of a single sheet of piezoceramic, the piece expands along the axis of polarization (thickness direction) and contracts
