Abstract: The strategy of linear compensation for nonlinear stiffness to flexibly adjust the degree of stiffness is widely applied in the field of vibration reduction but remains relatively uncommon ...

Quick availability, excellent temperature stability, humidity resistance, new from PI. (Nanowerk News) PI, a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, is extending the ...

Abstract: This article presents an untethered self-moving *piezoelectric actuator (USPA) capable of producing the load-carriable, fast, and precise movement. Here, a pair of piezoelectric stack plates ...

PI Ceramic, a leader in piezoceramic innovation, has significantly shortened its lead times for its highly reliable PICMA ® Stack multilayer piezo actuators. Furthermore, a polymer-free, monolithic ...

If you are going to build a foam dart range, at some point you want to add a sensor to register the hits at the target. Here is a simple idea for designing and building a standalone reactive target.

The piezoelectric effect directly converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. PI uses this effect for high precision, solid-state based actuators and grippers. Embedding a piezoceramic stack in ...
