Discovery Technology International, Inc. (DTI) is a specialized designer and manufacturer of ultrasonic standing wave-type piezoelectric motors, also known as "piezomotors". A piezomotor is essentially an electrical motor that does not rely on magnetism for movement. Instead, motion of a piezomotor is created by applying electricity to a special piezoceramic material that forms a part of the piezomotor. DTI's piezomotors are divided into three main product types; rotary piezomotors, linear piezomotors and piezoelectric valves.

Some key advantages that piezomotors have over conventional electromagnetic motors include; high torque, exceptional resolution and fast reaction time. Additionally, piezomotors offer great potential for miniaturization and can be used without a gear drive in many applications. As such, they offer significant benefits in motion and flow control applications throughout diverse industries, including; medical device, aerospace, semiconductor, telecommunications, industrial and automotive.

Flow Control Application Saves Millions

The dual function property of DTI piezomotors is a key factor in helping a US flow-control company to save millions of dollars in slurry waste.
