Design and experimental research of an improved stick–slip type piezo-driven linear actuator:
2015
A piezo-driven linear actuator based on the improved stick–slip principle is developed in this article. With the help of two piezo-stacks and flexure hinges, the preload force can be changed, so the designed actuator can realize relatively large linear ranges and large output force. The designed actuator mainly consists of the mover, the stator, two piezo-stacks, an adjusting stage and the base. The working principle and theoretical analysis are described. A prototype actuator was fabricated and a series of experiments were carried out to investigate the work characteristics of it. Experimental results indicate that the maximum speed is about 3.086 mm/s and the maximum output force is 0.98 N. They are both improved compared with the traditional stick–slip motion. Experimental results confirm that the proposed actuator can realize large output force relatively and different motion speeds with high accuracy under different driving voltages and frequencies.
