Improvement in the design of medical equipment for better-streamlined functionality and performance is influenced by a number of critical factors. The research, design, modeling, testing, prototyping, ...

(A) Schematic comparison of the puncture process with and without axial vibration, including 3 stages: pre-puncture (contact compression), puncture (membrane rupture), and post-puncture (insertion ...

Using the piezoelectric principle to transform electrical energy into physical displacement is well-known, but practical piezo motors are hard to find. A recent introduction from Elliptec AG, a ...

Just a few years ago, systems able to position to within 10 min. (10 millionths of an inch) were considered state of the art. Today, the bar has been raised. Companies routinely require the ability to ...

Piezoelectric actuators exploit the inverse piezoelectric effect to convert electrical signals into mechanical displacement with nanometre-scale resolution, high bandwidth and immunity to ...

Vibration motors are the silent workhorses behind tactile feedback in wearables and handheld devices. These compact actuators convert electrical signals into physical cues, enriching user interaction.

How does a piezoelectric transducer (actuator) work? Modern Piezo actuators are based on thin piezoceramic layers manufactured in a co-fired process to form a monolithic unit. They are also called ...

Murphy’s Law predicts that it takes the first 99% of your time budget to finish the first 99% of a job and the second 99% to get it completed. The history of piezoelectric motors can serve as a good ...

To address these needs, PI, a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, announces fast delivery of its PIHera series of XY piezo flexure nanopositioners with XY travel ranges ...
