The piezo effect of Satelec® piezoelectric handpieces can be described as either indirect or direct. The so-called piezoelectric bodies - ceramic rings - are deformed (by expansion or contraction) when polarized through application of an electric field.

Electric current generates a deformation of the piezo ceramic rings. The amplifier and tip, coupled together, increase the vibrational movements emitted by the piezo ceramic rings. The tip thus vibrates along a longitudinal axis. |
| - | Automated real-time frequency adjustment in the 28kHz-36kHz range, according to the tip's acoustic response to obtain maximal cutting efficiency: Auto-tuning system. |
|
| - | Perfect and continuous control of vibration amplitude: Push-Pull System. | |
| - | Continual adaptation of power required, depending on the resistance encountered by the tip: Feed-Back principle. |
