Development of a Novel Piezoelectric Actuator Based on Stick–Slip Principle by Using Asymmetric Constraint

In this work, a novel piezoelectric actuator based on the stick–slip principle is proposed. The actuator is constrained by an asymmetric constraint approach; the driving foot produces lateral and longitudinal coupling displacements when the piezo stack is extended. The lateral displacement is used t...
