Figure 1. Diagram of piezo inchworm motor in action. Figure 2. Six-step actuation process of the piezo inchworm motor. In its simplest form, the inchworm motor uses three piezo-actuators (2 and 3, see Figure 1.) mounted inside a tube (1) and electrified in sequence to grip a shaft (4) which is then moved in a linear direction.
Insides of a slip-stick piezoelectric motor. Two piezoelectric crystals are visible that provide the mechanical torque. [1]A piezoelectric motor or piezo motor is a type of electric motor based on the change in shape of a piezoelectric material when an electric field is applied, as a consequence of the converse piezoelectric effect.
The space industry's interest in amplified piezoelectric actuators is due to the high power density of these actuators, high positioning accuracy, high reliability, and low power losses when used in quasistatic operation. Amplified piezoelectric actuators have no sliding parts due to the flexural hinges and do not require lubrication.
Dome tweeter with a membrane with 25 mm diameter made from titanium; from a JBL TI 5000 loudspeaker box, c. 1997. A dome tweeter is constructed by attaching a voice coil to a dome (made of woven fabric, thin metal or other suitable material), which is attached to the magnet or the top plate via a low compliance suspension.
Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric (IEPE) characterises a technical standard for piezoelectric sensors which contain built-in impedance conversion electronics. IEPE sensors are used to measure acceleration, force or pressure. Measurement microphones also apply the IEPE standard. Other proprietary names for the same principle are ICP, CCLD ...
The most obvious difference is the use of resonance to amplify the vibration of the stator in contact with the rotor in ultrasonic motors. Ultrasonic motors also offer arbitrarily large rotation or sliding distances, while piezoelectric actuators are limited by the static strain that may be induced in the piezoelectric element.
Motor-CAD electromagnetic results Motor-CAD transient thermal results Motor-CAD Lab efficiency map. Motor-CAD is an Electromagnetic and Thermal analysis package for electric motors and generators, developed and sold by Motor Design Ltd. It was initially released in 1999.
Test bench for active vibration control at the Fraunhofer Institute LBF. A piezo driven active engine mount cancels the vibration resulting from several motors on top of the Mount by inducing countervibrations. Active vibration control is the active application of force in an equal and opposite fashion to the forces imposed by external ...
