There are two forces in piezo motor operation that are often confused: stall force and holding force. The stall force is the maximum force a motor can hold while running (i.e. in a dynamic state) before stalling occurs, while the holding force is the maximum load a motor can hold while powered-down (i.e. in a static […]

Paper on Pixel-Sub-Stepping / Image Resolution Enhancement with Piezoelectric Mechanisms
Auburn, MA – Piezo specialist PI has published a paper on image resolution enhancement and image stabilization for electronic imaging sensors based on fast piezo actuation. The paper describes basic techniques and explains different piezoelectric motion principles such as flexure mechanisms and ultrasonic motors. In order to increase the resolution of common imaging detectors such […]
