The invention concerns the operation of a pneumatic device for the metered delivery of a liquid and a pneumatic device particularly suited for operation in accordance with the invention. The pneumatic device has a pressure tank that can be connected to a compressed air source by means of an inlet valve and with the surroundings by means of an outlet valve. For delivery of the liquid, a pressure pulse is applied to the liquid container containing the liquid in that the pressure tank is temporarily connected to the liquid container via a changeover valve. After the end of the pressure pulse, the pressure prevailing in the pressure tank is increased to a value that is greater than the set value to be achieved during the pressure pulse.

Method for operating a pneumatic device for the metered delivery of a liquid and pneumatic device

An ultrasonic transducer comprises an elongate horn, a counterpiece, two piezoelectric drives and a screw. The counterpiece is fastened to the horn by means of the screw and thus clamps the piezoelectric drives, which are arranged on either side of a longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic transducer, between the horn and the counterpiece. The ultrasonic transducer is designed in such a way that the tip of a capillary which is clamped in the horn can oscillate in two different directions.
