Fast and precise: PIEZOMECHANICS

Adaptronics

Adaptronics, mechatronics, morphing
Piezo actuators are featuring
very short reaction times
high actuating forces
precisely controlled motion
high power density
low compliance
Piezo actuators are therefore first candidates to interact with and control fast mechanical processes e.g. to deform stiff mechanical structures with high dynamics and short switching times
Examples:
Compensation for distortions of optical fields by controlled morphing of involved mirrors
Active morphing of aero-dynamical structures (e.g. rotor blades for noise reduction of helicopters
Suppression of resonances to avoid fatigue by over loading of mechanical structures
Do you need support and assistance to find your way towards a successful design of your piezo-mechanical system
