Piezo actuators are used to steer the mirror. [Joel] has put together a prototype of what the mirror system might look like, but says driving the high-voltage piezo actuators poses some unique ...

The global piezoelectric actuator market was valued at US$917.209 million in 2021 The piezoelectric actuator market is projected to show positive growth during the forecast period. A piezoelectric ...

A “Half &Half” drive step with half amplitude and half resonance period kills overshoot and ringing of piezoelectric actuators.

These actuators exploit the inherent properties of piezoelectric materials, which deform under applied voltage, to generate both linear and rotary displacements.

How do piezoelectric actuators perform under extreme conditions such as high temperatures, strong vibrations, and nanoscale ...

Piezo actuators from Physik Instrumente (PI) are used in pixel sub-stepping, a method for improving the resolution of digital cameras and scanners. This is achieved by quickly and precisely moving the ...

The latest piezoceramic motors and actuators offer advantages over conventional electromagnetic motors. With higher accuracy and fewer wearing mechanical parts, it's no wonder ...

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers transmit and receive ultrasonic waves used in sensing and imaging applications. These devices possess the properties of both sensors and actuators.

Auburn, MA – The piezoelectric effect directly converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. PI uses this effect for high precision, solid-state based actuators and grippers.

Embedding a piezoceramic stack in a flexure-based arrangement can increase the motion range of the piezo actuator while providing protection, precision guidance, and a mounting interface at the same ...
