Welcome to Int'l Center for Actuators & Transducers (ICAT)
Your Development Partner of Smart Devices
The International Center for Actuators and Transducers (ICAT) at Penn State aims to become the world center for fundamental research on actuator and transducer materials, the design and fabrication process, as well as the applications of solid state actuators to precision machines, micro positioners, ultrasonic motors, etc.
The Center was established in April, 1992, to study the piezoelectric actuators and transducers, and the related fundamental science. ICAT has also been designed to provide the most effective transfer of this information and knowledge to the participating corporations. (see Table 1)
