The operating principle is based on coordinated motion of a number of highly preloaded linear and shear piezo elements acting on a runner and does not involve rotation/linear conversion. The working ...

The slow rise segment (A) expands the piezo element, and then the rapid drop (B) contracts the piezo suddenly, overcoming the static friction between it and the moving component. Speed of inertial ...

Lightweight and compact precision piezo actuators and grippers from PI USA provide high speed and nanometer resolution in a ...

Electric Displacement Intensity Factor (EDIF): A measure of the electric field intensity at the crack tip in piezoelectric materials. Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM): An advanced numerical ...
