Dynamic Characteristics of a Hydraulic Amplification Mechanism for Large Displacement Actuators Systems
We have developed a hydraulic displacement amplification mechanism (HDAM) and studied its dynamic response when combined with a piezoelectric actuator. The HDAM consists of an incompressible fluid sealed in a microcavity by two largely deformable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. The geometry with input and output surfaces having different cross-sectional areas creates amplification. By co...
متن کاملPhased-Array Piezoelectric Actuators Using a Buckling Mechanism Having Large Displacement Amplification and Nonlinear Stiffness
Novel designs of an array of piezoelectric stack actuators using a unique buckling mechanism are presented in this paper. Multiple PZT actuator units with high gain displacement amplification mechanisms are arranged in parallel with spatial phase differences. Having an inherent kinematic singularity, the buckling mechanism provides not only an extremely high gain of displacement amplification, ...
متن کاملQuiet Hydraulic Actuators for LIGO
Interferometric gravitational wave detection relies on precisely monitoring the distance between the test masses at the end of each arm which, conveniently, also serve as the end mirrors of the interferometer. For terrestrial detectors, this measurement is corrupted by seismic noise that is several orders of magnitude larger than the anticipated gravitational wave induced motion [1]. To reduce ...
متن کاملDisplacement Control of Hydraulic Actuators Using a Passivity Based Nonlinear Controller
To increase the efficiency of hydraulic systems by eliminating valve throttling losses, a direct displacement open circuit is proposed to control a single rod hydraulic actuator. The circuit provides three control inputs, including the displacement of a variable displacement pump, the opening area of a proportional valve, and the position of a directional valve. Pump control has a low bandwidth...
متن کاملDynamic Characteristics of Tiny Ultrasonic Linear Actuators
Tiny ultrasonic linear actuators (TULAs) are used in many industrial applications and a full characterization of their dynamic behavior is needed. This paper presents a detailed theoretical-experimental study of TULAs. The general structure and operation principle of TULAs are introduced. The actuator dynamics is then described using a simple piezoelectric model. In practice, TULAs are most oft...
