Abstract
Piezoelectric actuators have received increasing attention in recent years along with the emergence of new technologies, such as nanotechnology and biotechnology, which require precision control in an unprecedented demand. Owing to many inherent merits of these actuators, such as high resolution of displacement, high stiffness, and fast response, piezoelectric actuators have been broadly used in many applications requiring fine precision control. The application of piezoelectric actuators is further fueled by the trend of miniaturization in applied research and in the industry nowadays.
The field of piezoelectric actuators is now an interesting subject of research worth spending millions of dollars annually. Because of the superior characteristics of piezoelectric actuators in terms of precision, the term piezoelectric actuator has been closely associated with high-precision actuators.
