Piezoelectricity or piezoelectric effect refers to generating electric charge as a result of mechanical stress, vibrations, or heat. Piezoelectric effect has one unique characteristic of reversible effect. That is, when stress is applied it generates electricity, and when electric field is applied it generates stress. Piezoelectric proportional valves can be a better alternative to conventional solenoid valves as they offer more benefits than that of conventional valves, especially in applications requiring directly controlled proportional valves. Piezoelectric proportional valves are small, lightweight, durable, fast, and save energy. In addition, Piezo valves make minimal noise, generate very little heat, and are highly accurate, which makes them ideal for application in healthcare devices.

Global Piezoelectric Proportional Valve Market Dynamics:

Low power consumption ability of piezoelectric proportional valve is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period. Low heat, low current requirement, and flat design of piezoelectric valves enables easy integration in compact electronic packages. Due to their low power consumption, piezoelectric valves can be made intrinsically safe, leading to almost no heat dissipation and ensures safe usage as it does not generate heat itself, and reduces operating costs as no additional cooling systems are required.
