This paper presets a 3 degrees of freedom (dof) piezoelectric micropositioning stage. The stage is composed of a stack of piezo disk bender actuators actuated in such a way to prevent the end-effector from rotating; this way the end-effector can only translate along the x, y, and z axis. Thanks to its snake-like configuration, the system is capable of large displacements (of the order of 50 μm) with low driving voltages (of the order of 100V). Several lumped-mass static and dynamic models of the device have been implemented. Static experimental results, which are in agreement with simulation data, confirmed the performances of the device.

Abstract
This paper presets a 3 degrees of freedom (dof) piezoelectric micropositioning stage. The stage is composed of a stack of piezo disk bender actuators actuated in such a way to prevent the end-effector from rotating; this way the end-effector can only translate along the x, y, and z axis. Thanks to its snake-like configuration, the system is capable of large displacements (of the order of 50 μm) with low driving voltages (of the order of 100V). Several lumped-mass static and dynamic models of the device have been implemented. Static experimental results, which are in agreement with simulation data, confirmed the performances of the device. A dynamic model showed the natural frequencies of the mechanism . Also dynamic tests have been conducted in order to validate the dynamic model.Pubblicazioni consigliate
