STATE-OF-THE-ART AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS OF MULTI-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM PIEZOELECTRIC MOTORS FOR EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS AND MEASURING DEVICES

Ramutis Bansevicius

Abstract

The paper covers state of the art and latest development of piezoelectric motors at Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania), that are related to the R&D of laser scanning and deflecting devices, measuring systems, nano-resolution positioning devices on the plane, various applications including teaching aids for Mechatronics studies and even "intelligent" toys. All presented motors are one- or multi-degree-of-freedom (multi DOF) resonant devices and generate continuous or step motion of the positioning object.

Keywords
