STATE-OF-THE-ART AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS OF MULTI-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM PIEZOELECTRIC MOTORS FOR EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS AND MEASURING DEVICES

Ramutis Bansevicius
Abstract:
The paper covers state of the art and latest development of piezoelectric motors at Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania), that are related to the R&D of laser scanning and deflecting devices, measuring systems, nano-resolution positioning devices on the plane, various applications including teaching aids for Mechatronics studies and even "intelligent" toys. All presented motors are one- or multi-degree-of-freedom (multi DOF) resonant devices and generate continuous or step motion of the positioning object.
Keywords:
