Abstract

In this paper a new mini-system with piezoelectric actuation is presented. The piezoelectric actuation principle it is described and also an original mini-system is designed and analyzed. An experimental prototype of the compliant mini-mechanism is developed, in compact design, which amplifies the input displacement, with facile connection with the piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator is commanded withdifferent frequencies impulse signals.
