Ultrasonic Transducer

Each set is frequency calibrated with matched horn before delivery. It works directly with the matched digital generator without horn replacement. If you change the sonotrode, re-tuning is mandatory, otherwise high impedance, overheating or failure to start vibration will occur.

Metal welding, indium coating, tinning, Al melt treatment require high amplitude. Ultrasonic sewing & plastic welding use medium amplitude. Ultrasonic spray and precision cutting adopt low amplitude. Amplitude depends on horn gain ratio & generator setting. Over-amplitude operation will damage piezo ceramics.

Main causes: loose horn, piezo overheating aging, worn sonotrode, overload, loose preload bolt. Solutions: stop and cool down, check thread tightness, perform frequency re-tuning, replace worn sonotrode. Water-cooled version is recommended for heavy-duty applications.

It cannot be used directly. Transducers of the same frequency have similar main body, while horn / sonotrode, output amplitude and cooling system are customized for different processes. Indium coating and Al melt treatment usually require water cooling & high amplitude tooling; spray & precision cutting need low-amplitude setup. You need to replace the horn and re-tune the generator.

Selection depends on application type, required frequency, power output, working amplitude, horn design, and operating conditions. It would be very helpful when you can send us your total device,
