A Piezoelectric Inchworm Actuator with Bidirectional Thrust Force

An inchworm actuator is designed as symmetrical structural layout, which can generate bidirectional thrust force. The clamped flexible mechanisms are set in stator and that of driven are in mover. Firstly, the parameters of flexible hinges are analyzed and optimized. Then, a kind of 6- division time...
