Ultrasonic Amplitude Transformer

An Ultrasonic Amplitude Transformer, also known as a horn or booster, is a critical component in ultrasonic systems that modifies and transmits mechanical vibrations generated by an ultrasonic transducer to the working interface (e.g., sonotrode, welding tip, or probe).

Its main role is to amplify, reduce, or reshape the amplitude of the ultrasonic waves to match the requirements of the specific application, ensuring efficient energy transfer and consistent performance. The transformer's geometry (e.g., stepped, exponential, conical) is precisely designed to control amplitude gain and mechanical resonance.

🔸 Key Features

• Amplitude modulation – increases or decreases vibration levels

• Material transmission – typically made of titanium, aluminum, or steel

• Tuned resonance – designed to match system frequency (commonly 20 kHz, 40 kHz, etc.)

• High mechanical strength – handles continuous stress and high vibration

🔸 Applications

• 🔩 Ultrasonic Welding (plastics, metals)

• 🧪 Ultrasonic Cleaning and Atomization

• 🧫 Ultrasonic Sonochemistry and Emulsification

• 💉 Medical and Surgical Tools (e.g., facial mask, scalpels, dental equipment)

• 📏 Precision Cutting, Drilling, and Engraving
