Balancing speed-torque trade-off in a piezoelectric inchworm rotary actuator via amplified-torsional flexures
A major challenge in designing piezoelectric inchworm rotary actuators is to balance rotational speed, load capacity, and output torque while retaining power-off self-locking capability and relaxed assembly tolerance. This study presents the design and experimental evaluation of a piezoelectric inchworm rotary actuator...
