T1 - Influence of the actuation waveform on the performance of piezoelectric stick-slip actuators T2 - IKMT 2015 - Innovative Klein- und Mikroantriebstechnik N2 - Performance and efficiency of piezo-electric stick-slip actuators are dependent on the waveform of the electrical actuation of the piezo-stack. This paper compares between a conventional saw-tooth actuation with two waveforms that feature softer acceleration in order to minimize the duration of the slip-phase. It is shown that the proposed waveforms increase both maximum mechanical output power (by 43%) and overall efficiency (by 25%) of the examined actuator.

T1 - Modular test bed for performance assessment of piezoelectric stick-slip actuators T2 - Actuator 2014 - 14th International conference on new actuators & 8th International exhibition on smart actuators and drive systems (Proceedings) N2 - Stepping piezoelectric actuators based on the stick-slip effect inherently make use of a friction contact between strator and rotor. This contact defines not only the actuator's performance but also is prone to wear and tear. For broad use, the actuator has to be able to perform around 1 million strokes. To assess the actuator's performance in terms of force, speed, mechanical output, electrical input, and long-term stability under different load- and environmental conditions, as well as different friction partners, a dedicated test-bed for a LSPA30µXS motor by Cedrat Technologies has been set up.
