Piezo Actuators
Stack, Bending & Stripe Varieties
A piezo actuator converts an electrical signal into a precisely controlled physical displacement, to finely adjust precision machining tools, lenses, or mirrors. Piezoelectric actuators also are used to control hydraulic valves, act as small-volume pumps or special-purpose motors, and in other applications. Piezoelectric motors are unaffected by energy efficiency losses that limit the miniaturization of electromagnetic motors, and have been constructed to sizes of less than 1 cm3. A potentially important additional advantage to piezoelectric motors is the absence of electromagnetic noise. if physical displacement is prevented, a piezo actuator will develop a usable force.
