Are all 20 kHz ultrasonic transducers interchangeable?
No. Nominal frequency alone does not establish compatibility. Compare mounting, connection dimensions, power requirements and the existing generator and acoustic assembly. Send the original component drawing and nameplate before ordering a replacement.
How do I choose 15, 20 or 35 kHz ultrasonic components?
Use the operating frequency of the intended system as a starting point. Then match the transducer, generator, horn and mounting to the application. Review each product specification rather than assuming that a higher frequency or power is automatically the better choice.
What is an ultrasonic welding horn or sonotrode?
The horn, also called a sonotrode, is the tooling that contacts the workpiece in the ultrasonic assembly. For a tooling inquiry, provide operating frequency, part drawing, contact area and mounting details so the proposed horn can be checked with the existing system.
