Design of a Linear Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Motor
<p>A new geometrically unique ultrasonic motor (USM) was designed using finite element modeling (FEM). A USM operates by vibrating a drive tip in an elliptical motion while it is in periodic contact with a driven surface. Piezoelectric elements are used to create the elliptical motions and are …

A Vertical Coarse Approach Scanning Tunneling Microscope
… perform. The operating principles of inertial piezoelectric motors are detailed. Design guidelines for a piezoelectric motor are given, and used in the design of the vertical coarse approach motor. A simple, inexpensive implementation for creating waveforms with an extremely fast fall time is …

Design and Use of Pre-Stressed Unimorphs for High-Displacement, High-Load Applications
… force microscopy (PFM), and to design a motor to use the strengths of a compliant actuator. Applications such as robotics need high-force, high displacement actuators with potential for scaling. Pre-stressed unimorphs, typified by THUNDER™ actuators by Face International Corporation, …
