Amplified Piezoelectric Actuators:Static & Dynamic Applications

Piezo actuators can be classified in three main categories: stack-type actuators, external/internal leveraged actuators and frequency-leveraged actuators (such as stepping motors and ultrasonic motors) [1]. Although Cedrat Technologies has developed several solutions using multilayered piezo ceramics and shell-based structures [2, 3], Amplified Piezo Actuators have today received the largest market interest.
