At the ACTUATOR conference in Bremen, Germany, Noliac will present the design of the novel lightweight, temperature stable and highly dynamic amplified piezoelectric actuator. R&D Engineer Charles Mangeot will do the presentation on Tuesday, June 15th - P116.
The novel actuator
The Noliac amplified diamond actuator allows large controllable displacements, stability with varying temperatures together with high forces for a minimal weight.
The diamond frame is more compact than many commercially available amplification systems. In addition, the lower mass and optimised stiffness imply higher mechanical resonance compared to other solutions, allowing operation at higher frequency.
The amplified actuator will find applications in systems requiring large controllable displacements together with high forces for a minimal weight.
