Want to learn more about piezoelectric micro motors, micro stages, motion systems and applications? Here are some observations, articles and papers that we think you’ll find useful. Have a look, and then give us a call with your questions.
Technical paper presented at NSTI Nanotech,by David Henderson. We present “the world’s smallest linear motor” and its use in tiny syringe and reciprocating piston pumps for microfluidic applications.
Article in Electronic Products magazine – This article compares piezo motors to other motor technologies for micro cameras, including miniature electromagnetic motors, voice coil actuators, liquid lenses, and piezo bimorph actuators. It then compares two types of piezo motors that have been commercialized for micro camera applications.
Technical paper presented at Actuator 2006 By David Henderson – introducing the SQUIGGLE motor.
Article from Machine Design Magazine – by David Henderson. Motors that can precisely position loads with micrometer-scale accuracy are now inexpensive enough for consumer electronics.
These books provide a detailed understanding of the operating principles behind the different types of piezoelectric motors, and an introduction to micromechatronic system design.
