Piezoelectric Actuator Tutorial | ||||
|
Piezo is derived from the Greek word piezein (to squeeze). It is quite often misspelled peizo. Piezoelectric actuators offer a solution to positioning tasks that require the highest accuracy, speed and resolution.
Examples given in this tutorial indicate a selection of the many applications common today. The relentless push for more accuracy and speed-whether in biotechnology / nanotechnology, the miniaturization of microelectronics, fiber optics or data storage devices-drives both the application and the further development of piezo technology. | |||
