A charge controller for linear operation of a piezoelectric stack actuator

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2005
This paper examines the position control problem of piezoelectric stack actuators and presents a method for overcoming the hysteresis nonlinearity between the applied voltage and the actuator displacement. An inverting charge control circuit is implemented to linearize the stack actuator movement by taking advantage of the linear relationship between ...

Advanced piezoelectric–ferroelectric stack actuator

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2009
Abstract A conceptual design and an operational algorithm for an advanced piezoelectric–ferroelectric stack actuator are developed. The actuator takes advantage of the large strains due to the domain-switching phenomenon and utilizes the nonlinear range of response of the ferroelectric material.

Multilayer piezoelectric stack actuator characterization

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2008
Future NASA missions are increasingly seeking to use actuators for precision positioning to accuracies of the order of fractions of a nanometer. For this purpose, multilayer piezoelectric stacks are being considered as actuators for driving these precision mechanisms.

High Performance ‘‘V-stack’’ Piezoelectric Actuator

Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 2004
A comparative analysis of the state-of-the-art actuators is conducted. A new piezoelectric actuator design is presented. It is compact, simple, sturdy, and leverages stroke geometrically with minimum force penalties. The ‘‘V-stack Piezoelectric Actuator’’ consists of a base, a lever, two piezoelectric stacks, and a pretensioning element.
