Abstract

The chapter starts with the fundamentals of piezoelectric stack actuators as well as the effect of mechanical prestress on the stack performance. Preisach hysteresis modeling from Chap. 6 will be applied to describe the large-signal behavior of prestressed stack actuators. Section 10.2 deals with so-called amplified piezoelectric actuators, which provide relatively large mechanical displacements by converting mechanical forces into displacements. The conversion is performed with the aid of special metallic hinged frames. In Sect. 10.3, the applicability of piezoelectric trimorph actuators for positioning tasks will be demonstrated. For this purpose, model-based hysteresis compensation is conducted. At the end of the chapter, a brief overview of piezoelectric motors will be given which includes selected examples of linear as well as rotary motors.
