DSM’s FlexFrame PiezoActuator(TM) series is a family of mechanically amplified, flexure-guided piezo actuators for precision motion control and positioning applications. The actuators feature solid-state flexure hinges to eliminate backlash and stiction.
Standard piezo actuator designs offer displacement capabilities ranging from a few microns up to 2 mm, and the actuators typically feature low voltage (150-200V) piezo material. Custom designs can be produced for unique displacement ranges, design stiffness, and environmental considerations (temperature, vacuum, non-magnetic, etc.), DSM's piezoelectric actuators can also be configured with integrated displacement feedback sensors for closed-loop micropositioning and nanopositioning.
DSM's FlexFrame PiezoActuator(TM) design allows for high displacement performance in an extremely low profile package. Custom mounting conditions can be integrated into the design.
DSM welcomes custom requests for flexure-guided piezo actuator designs. Please consider the following questions and contact us:
* What displacement range is required?
* What load will the actuator carry? Is it a static load or a dynamic load such as a spring force?
* What positioning resolution and accuracy are required?
* How fast does the actuator need to move, or at what frequency will you drive the actuator?
* What does the desired motion profile look like? (point-to-point, sinusoidal, etc.)
* Are you able to use open loop operation, or do you require closed-loop servo control?
* Are there any special environmental considerations (temperature, humidity, vacuum, etc.)?
* What are the geometric constraints for the actuator or stage?

Amplified Piezoelectric Actuators (APA)
Patented by the CEDRAT Group, the amplified piezo actuator is a mechanical magnified preloaded stack of low voltage piezoelectric ceramics (MLA). The mechanical amplification is obtained thanks to an external elliptical shell made of stainless steel which magnify along the short axis the MLA deformation occurring along the main axis. This elliptical frame also protects the MLA against tensile force. It provides the user with mechanical interfaces for easy integration. This prestressing and magnifying flextensionnal frame applies an optimal preloading force to the MLA which ensures a longer life time and better performance than traditional mechanical amplifier based on lever arm and flexure pivot, when applied dynamically.
The Amplified Piezo Actuators, APAs, developed by the CEDRAT Group have force and displacement performance ranges which are beyond that of direct or bimorph Piezoactuators.
10 series (uXS, XXS, XS, S, SM, M, MML, ML, L, XL) of APAs are available in order to meet the different needs in terms of stroke, force and dimensions

DSM's LPA FlexFrame PiezoActuator™ products are flexure-guided lever mechanisms that mechanically amplify the motion of the integrated piezoelectric ceramic. DSM's LPA designs span a range of displacement capabilities up to 1mm.
The actuator frame is typically a monolithic piece of stainless steel or titanium alloy, and it can include threaded or through holes for attachment at the actuator's output. For mounting purposes, the frame can be designed with threaded holes in the bottom or side structure.
The moving mass in a LPA actuator is typically less than that of other types of mechanically amplified mechanisms. Consequently, the LPA architecture can enable relatively higher dynamic response performance.
The LFPA FlexFrame PiezoActuator™ products include a secondary mechanical amplification to attain relatively larger motion ranges up to 10mm. In order to satisfy a non-magnetic requirement for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications, DSM has fabricated LFPA mechanisms from titanium alloy.

DSM's NA-25 and NA-80 actuators are direct-drive piezoelectric actuators integrated into a protective metallic frame. The frame is a monolithic piece of stainless steel or titanium alloy with a flexure-based expansion component.
The flexure minimizes the resistance that the frame might impart to the piezoelectric actuation. The frame also includes standard threaded receiver holes at the top and bottom and incorporates a preload mechanism. The mechanical preload maintains compression on the piezoelectric ceramic under high tensile forces and ensures bidirectional operation. The design thus provides increased resilience to mechanical loads when compared to non-preloaded actuators.
The NA-25 and NA 80 are well-suited to many applications where high force and high frequency response are required.

Piezoceramic Actuators of the PZ Series
The Matrix selection boxes of the PZ Series use an exclusive low absorbtion piezoceramic technology and are equipped with a smart electronic microprocessor of new concept.
Characterized by high actuation speed and technologic solutions of absolute supremacy, they create a new referring standard both for quality and performance.
The data transmission, from the controller to the selection boxes and vice versa, takes place on RS-422 high speed balanced lines granting the highest reliability and the monitoring in real time of the system's correct fonctionning.
A LED positioned on every selection box grants the visual control of the correct wiring during the loading and the set up of parameters into the machine.
The programming of the addresses on the selection boxes takes place automatically, it is carried out by the controller; a further exclusive electronical, tangential and adjusting system allows the nearest precision of selection, equal to ± 1/10 of needle on both the selection ways (loop/bushing).

Equipment using the piezoelectric effect of PZT based ceramic elements can achieve unlimited high resolution positioning. piezosystem jena is one of the world leading companies in this technology. An electric field is applied to the ceramic by controlling analog voltage signals.
This results in a change in length of the bi-polar elements depending on the signal strength. piezosystem jena makes use of this effect for the design of positioning equipment with nearly unlimited high resolution. The increased in the length of the PZT is quite small.
Therefore piezosystem jena employs sophisticated flexure hinge designs in order to enlarge the motion up to the mm range. The unique nano-positioning elements of piezosystem jena guarantee the highest resolution in the sub-nm range even when the total travel range is in mm.

Stepping Piezoelectric Actuators (SPA) are new long-stroke linear piezoelectric motors for micro/nano positioning applications benefiting of the APA heritage. They operate by accumulation of small steps.
Between each step the actuator is locked in position. When the long stroke is performed, it can be also operated in a deformation mode for a fine adjustment. In this case, the stroke is proportional to the applied voltage, which leads to a nanometer resolution and a high bandwidth. This actuator can be supplied with CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES standard Linear Amplifiers.
In summary, SPAs offer:
A blocking at rest in any position (locking without power supply),
high stiffness,
A nano positioning resolution all along the stroke
Non magnetic behavior
Stepping Piezoelectric Actuators (SPA) find applications as micro/nano positioning, locking mechanism, valves actuators. They can be used in instrumentation, especially microscopes (AFM, STM), non-magnetic
equipment (MRI), space telescopes. Multi-axis OEM devices can be developed. SPA is a complement to the Amplified Piezoelectric Actuators (APAs) from CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES.

A walking drive principle
Imagine an electric motor of approximately the same size as an ant, but 1,000 times as strong. Then imagine that it moves like an ant, despite being constructed in one solid piece. Still, it can actually walk, step by step, one pair of legs at a time.
What is really unique with the Piezo LEGS® motor is its ability to synchronize the movement of each pair of legs - just like an ant. What is obvious in nature is not necessarily as obvious to an electric motor.

The PiezoWave™ motor consists of very small piezo ceramic elements that are surface assembled on a flexible printed circuit board. The design enables us to manufacture the motors in mass volume manufacturing equipment at very low cost.
The small size is the most apparent advantage of PiezoWave™, a motor that has been developed for very demanding applications in mobile phones, resulting in many other important properties such as robustness, motion dynamics (speed, precision etc.), power efficiency, weight etc.
The simple design of the PiezoWave™ and the fact that it is a complete motor also makes it very easy to integrate into other products.
