Linear versus rotary, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic, here’s a look at the basics of the actuator component.

This series provides a travel of up to 260 microns.The big advantage of these actuators is the high load which can be handled. The resonant frequency of up to 60 kHz and extreme high accelerations of ...

This simple STM setup utilises a piezoelectric actuator constructed by deliberately cutting a piezo speaker into four quadrants. With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants.

The flexure minimizes the resistance that the frame might impart to the piezoelectric actuation ... compared to non-preloaded actuators. The NA Series designs are well-suited to many applications ...

Delphi's hydraulic circuit design makes best use of the characteristics of piezo ceramic actuators: high force and speed with efficient packaging. "This provides an advantage equivalent to raising ...

make it an ideal choice for precise frequency control and timing applications. PZT is a synthetic ceramic material that exhibits strong piezoelectric properties. It is widely used in sensors, ...
