Abstract
The lightweight micro rotation (MR) stages with the advantage of realizing controllable movement in limited space, offer extensive application potential in fields like micro robots, drones and augmented reality interaction. To adapt to different scenarios, this paper develops various sub-gram MR stages driven by piezoelectric (PZT) actuators to achieve rotation movements of specialized performance, including high bandwidth, high load, and both high in bandwidth and load. Experimental results show that the MR stages can achieve a wide rotational range over ± 30° and a high bandwidth (0—508.2 Hz) with sub-gram weight (maximum 960 mg). Moreover, under 1 Hz driving, they have a maximum absolute load capacity of 11.1 g or relative load capacity of 24.6 times of its own weight. This work confirms that the MR stages can be used as universal actuators, which are inspiring for driving and execution in micro robotic and other fields under complex scenes.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals.
