Force Stepping Piezo Actuator: a Motorised Solution for High Resolution Positioning and External Forces Resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Typical holding force of piezo motors is defined by friction force, required to make motor move. However, increase of friction force is not inconsequent for motor performances in terms of speed, max motion force and lifetime (tribology). In this paper, a new motor, offering high resolution positioning and holding position when unpowered, is presented. Based on a Stepping Piezo Actuator [1] at its core, this new design decouples the outer forces from the most sensitive parts of the motor. This allows the motor to propose a high force/mass ratio and sustain even higher forces without supply. Results obtained on prototype are presented, giving the reader the benefits of proposed technology.

One-DOF Precision Position Control using the Combined Piezo-VCM Actuator
This paper presents the control performance of a highprecision positioning device using the hybrid actuator composed of a piezoelectric (PZT) actuator and a voice-coil motor (VCM). The combined piezo-VCM actuator features two main characteristics: a large operation range due to long stroke of the VCM, and high precision and heavy load positioning ability due to PZT impact force. A one-degree-of...
متن کاملA robust adaptive control for micro- positioning of piezoelectric actuators with environment force estimation
Piezoelectric actuators are widely used for precise micro-positioning. In most applications, there is contact with the environment. Sensing external forces is a challenging problem in controlling mechanical systems, especially in micro scales. The external force could cause dual hysteresis non-linearity effects, which will disrupt the actuator positioning accuracy. Therefore, an effective contr...

This paper describes the design and manufacturing of a rigid positioning system with high resolution based on piezostepper technology. The planar piezostepper is able to move along the three in-plane directions and is able to make small correction movements in the out-of-plane directions. The piezostepper integrates the drive system, the transmission, and the bearing system into a single steppi...

Due to their fast response, high accuracy and non-friction force, piezo-actuators have been widely employed in multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) stages for various nano-positioning applications. The use of flexible hinges in these piezo-actuator-driven stages allows the elimination of the influence of friction and backlash clearance, as observed in other configurations; meanwhile it also causes ...
متن کاملModellierung und Validierung der Krafterzeugung mit Stick-Slip-Antrieben für nanorobotische Anwendungen
Piezo-actuated miniaturized Stick-Slip drives (positioners) are well known both in research and industry. The function of the drives can be subdivided into the phase of actuation (Stick) and the retraction of the actuator (Slip). Although the deflection of the actuator is limited, theoretically infinite motion can be realized, combined with high positioning resolution. In this work a new method...
