Nowadays, nanocomposite beams undergoing large displacements are effectively
employed as basic structural components of small-scale electro-mechanical systems, such …

This paper proposes a purely center-rotation and non-redundant piezoelectric stick–slip
rotary stage with force magnification. A bridge driving mechanism with centrosymmetric …

Piezoelectric platforms commonly use step accumulation to achieve large strokes. However,
frequent starts and stops cause velocity fluctuations, particularly under large load conditions …

It is difficult to simultaneously achieve high linearity, high velocity, and high resolution for
long-stroke piezoelectric actuators due to their discontinuity. To improve the velocity and …

Existing kinds of stepping piezoelectric actuators have difficulty in maintaining smooth
stepping characteristics in motion, especially with applied loads, because they are limited by …

To overcome the limited stroke of existing micropositioning stages in precision engineering
systems, this article proposes an optimal design of a new micropositioner based on the …

Piezoelectric accurate actuation plays an important role in industrial applications. The
intrinsic frequency of previous actuators is invariable. However, variable frequency can …

In recent years, piezoelectric actuators, represented by inertial and inchworm actuators,
have been widely applied because of their high accuracy and excellent responsiveness …

Stick-slip piezoelectric actuators are promising because they enable both macroscale
motion in stepping mode and nanoscale motion in scanning mode. However, when the …

Precision micro-manipulation tasks demand high-speed motion but low driving frequency for
stick-slip actuators to achieve efficient operation and reduce friction wear. This paper …
