Sendai Smart Machines (SSM)’s energy harvester makes use of piezoelectric effect for generating electric power. In a word, SSM’s products are vibratory energy harvester of “AlN (aluminum nitride) thin film-based non-linear spring type formed on stainless steel” developed by MEMS technology. They are highly durable against strong impact enough to reliably generate electric power under extremely vibratory circumstances. Further, CMOS-compatible process drastically reduces manufacturing costs on volume production basis SSM provides worldwide customers with several kinds of energy harvester sample for their reference and
evaluation purpose. Then, SSM customizes and optimizes its reference designs, and develops an optimal energy harvester device in order to fulfill customer’s own specification. SSM fully implements customer’s original energy harvester device from project inception to mass-production phase.
