“…To achieve a large motion range, the strategy that one or several PESs combined with flexure hinge mechanisms is widely employed. Correspondingly, a large amount of piezoelectric actuators have been designed by using different driving principles [12], such as, inchworm actuators [13][14][15], stick-slip actuators [16][17][18][19], structure amplification actuators [20,21], and parasitic motion principle (PMP) actuators [22][23][24].…”

“…By suitably using the parasitic motion of a compliant mechanism to drive the mover, the PMP principle was proposed by Huang et al [23]. According to this principle, bi-directional motions were realized by using only one PES [24]. Subsequently, by designing various flexure hinge mechanisms to generate the parasitic motion, such as, lever-type, bridge-type, parallelogram-type mechanisms, Li et al [22,[26][27][28] developed kinds of linear and rotary actuators with simple structures but large motion ranges.…”

Taking advantage of simple structure and control, stick-slip piezoelectric actuators have been widely employed to realize precision positioning in precision machinery and instrument. However, their output characteristics could be significantly affected by the contact status between the driving mechanism and the mover (or rotor). If the contact status changes in the motion process, strong nonlinearity will appear in the displacement-time curve, deteriorating the performances. To achieve a constant contact status, the gravity of the rotor was used in this paper, and accordingly, a novel stick-slip piezoelectric rotary actuator was developed. The structure design, motion principle, as well as output characteristics of the actuator were addressed and discussed in detail. Experimental results indicated that when the driving frequency was below 350 Hz, stable stepping motions with quite small backward motion could be achieved. By changing the driving frequency, voltage and radius, various stepping rotation angles and speeds were easily obtained. The output characteristics changing with the vertical load were further characterized. Furthermore, by simply changing the direction of the driving waveform, forward and reverse rotation motions showing good linearity with time were achieved in a very large motion range, corresponding to a millimeter scale linear displacement. Comparative experiments with a normal stick-slip actuator further confirmed the validity and advancement of the proposed strategy for keeping a constant contact status, which will be beneficial to the subsequent motion control and mass production.

“…In the initial research of the FHMs-PSSAs, Chang et al designed a linear amplification mechanism by using the Scott-Russel mechanism principle, as shown in Figure 6(a); the designed actuator could realize large step output with low starting voltage; besides the displacement amplification mechanism, this was also attributed to its appropriate preload force applied by the slider (Chang and Li, 1999). And then, the bridge type (see Figure 1(a)(ii)) (Li et al, 2017a; Zhou et al, 2017) and the microgripper type (see Figure 6(b)) (Huang and Zhao, 2014; Huang et al, 2012) FHMs-PSSAs were developed to achieve the long-stroke and high-precision positioning. To broaden the application of FHMs-PSSAs, Huang et al developed a microgripper type FHMs-PSSA, which was used as a long-stroke scratch drive component in the y -direction of the designed in-situ indentation/scratch test instrument (Huang, 2014; Huang et al, 2012), see Figure 6(d).…”

Piezoelectric stick-slip actuators (PSSAs) are famous for ultimate working condition adaptability, simple structure, and positioning accuracy. To meet the demand of industrial application, lots of PSSAs designed with flexure hinge mechanisms (FHMs-PSSAs) have been developed to realize the requirements of translational motion, rotational motion, multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) motion. The output performance of the FHMs-PSSAs has been greatly improved, including load capacity, speed, and accuracy; moreover, some approaches to solve the problem of the backward motion are provided as well. In this work, the working principle of FHMs-PSSAs is introduced, and the excitation signals applicable to FHMs-PSSAs are summarized. Based on the current research and development status, the progress of structure design of FHMs-PSSAs is introduced in accordance with translatory FHMs-PSSAs, rotary FHMs-PSSAs, and multi-DOF FHMs-PSSAs. Additionally, the developed analysis methods and design schemes to improve the performance are introduced, including theoretical analysis methods, consistency scheme of forward and reverse performance, suppression scheme of the backward motion, and improvement scheme of positioning accuracy. The significance of this work can be regarded as a further supplement to the previous review articles on the PSSAs, which will provide a reference and guidance for the future development of FHMs-PSSAs.

“…JY Peng and XB Chen 14 proposed the dynamics model of a stick-slip actuator by taking into account the linear dynamics and hysteretic behavior of the piezoelectric actuator (PEA). H Huang and HW Zhao 15 designed one stick-slip actuator by the parasitic motion of a microgripper, and it could realize both forward and backward motion by only one piezoelectric stack. But most of the designed stick-slip actuators are working under constant preload force, so the output force of stick-slip actuators is limited.…”

A piezo-driven linear actuator based on the improved stick-slip principle is developed in this article. With the help of two piezo-stacks and flexure hinges, the preload force can be changed, so the designed actuator can realize relatively large linear ranges and large output force. The designed actuator mainly consists of the mover, the stator, two piezostacks, an adjusting stage and the base. The working principle and theoretical analysis are described. A prototype actuator was fabricated and a series of experiments were carried out to investigate the work characteristics of it. Experimental results indicate that the maximum speed is about 3.086 mm/s and the maximum output force is 0.98 N. They are both improved compared with the traditional stick-slip motion. Experimental results confirm that the proposed actuator can realize large output force relatively and different motion speeds with high accuracy under different driving voltages and frequencies.
