How repeatable is the motion of a piezo actuator?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsA piezoceramic actuator which is cyclically driven at a constant cycle time between the same two points will perfectly repeat its path every time. However, if the cycle time or either endpoint is changed, hysteresis and creep effects cause non-repeatable motions.
Related QuestionsHow repeatable are the voltage outputs from a piezo strain gage?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsOutputs from piezoceramics which are 'following' surface vibrations are generally very repeatable and stable. If the sensor is initially calibrated it can be trusted for years of accurate service.

Related QuestionsWhat is a Motion for Discovery?
Speeding Ticket FAQA Motion differs from a Request in that a defendant makes the Motion to the court and not the prosecution. In a Motion for Discovery you must justify your reasons for making certain requests for information and the court will decide if your request has merit. If the Court determines that your request is legitimate and the information is needed for your defense, it will order that the information be given you.
Related QuestionsWhat is a Motion?
NVB-FAQA motion is a written formal statement in which the party who is requesting an action, the movant, sets forth his grounds for the action requested. The party against whom the action is requested is the respondent. Hiring a competent attorney is highly recommended.
Related QuestionsHow much electrical power can I get out of one piezo sheet in principle?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsAssuming that we stretch a PSI-5A (1.5" x 2.5" x .0075") sheet to ?500 microstrains quasistatically at a frequency just below its fundamental longitudinal resonance of 15 KHz, and that we collect 100% of the stored electrical energy at its height twice per cycle we would get approximately 9 watts of electrical power from the sheet. The mechanical energy input under these assumptions would be in excess of 100 watts. Resonant designs can be considerably more efficient.
Related QuestionsIs a "spice model" available for piezo sensors?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsWe do not have any spice models. As you probably have guessed, for each new thing the piezo is glued to, a new "AC source" characteristic arises. With so many various applications for piezo, we do not have the resources to comment on application-specific questions.
Related QuestionsCan I drive a piezo transducer with a 'square wave'?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsThe answer is application dependent. If the square wave voltage is low (i.e., less than 30 V), then the answer is usually yes. If the square wave voltage is higher, there is a good chance for shockwave, damage, cracking, reduced life, or other failures. Careful control of the square wave rise time/fall time is the solution.
Related QuestionsWill piezo technology replace magnetic technology?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsNo. Fundamentally, magnetic technology is based on a force which arises 'at a distance', without physical contact. Piezo technology is based on physical contact and elastic coupling. On an application by application basis one is usually better than the other. Take solenoid actuators as an example. Piezo actuators can be designed to replace almost any solenoid but they always come out bulkier and often heavier so it is unlikely that full scale replacement will ever occur.
Related QuestionsWhat is Piezo power?
Electronic keyless door locksIt is a latching system that uses piezo ceramic technology instead of a traditional motor or solenoid. It is used in many applications such as: The key advantage of using piezo technology instead of motors and solenoids is a very low power consumption, up to 6 times less than a motor and 66 times less than a solenoid, providing exceptional battery life.
Related QuestionsWhat is an Air Actuator?
A device, which induces action or motion with compressed air being the medium through which the power is transmitted. Similar in function to an air cylinder.
Related QuestionsWhat is a linear actuator?
The Golem Project - FAQA linear actuator creates linear motion, like a piston. A linear actuator is best thought of as a mechanical muscle. The main difference between a biological muscle and a linear actuator is that a muscle can only contract, while the linear actuator and contract and expand (but often in biological muscles come in pairs so this is not really important difference).
Related QuestionsQ : Why are my measurements not repeatable?
Listen Inc - SupportMake sure that you have set the delay of your measurement correctly and your sound card has a repeatable latency. Remember, if your delay is off by as little as 1 ms you will not get a good measurement above 10 kHz (10 cycles at 10 kHz is 1 ms long). In the CardDeluxe's mixer configuration, make sure that "lock to playback" is checked to assure a repeatable latency. Also, the sound card's latency changes with sampling rate so if the latency is 1.5 ms at 44.

Related QuestionsA motion is a formal written request for action in a case. The request is made to the judge by the movant and may generate a formal written response by the respondent. The motion and its supporting papers set forth the basis for the requested action. The response may or may not contest the action requested and, if it does, it will also contain the reasons for contesting the motion. Following due process, the Court will issue and enter a written order either granting or denying the motion.Related Questions
How much electrical power can be extracted from a typical piezo bender element in practice?
Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsA "Double Quick Mount" bending element bolted to a rigid surface provides a convenient demonstration of a cantilever mount generator. Applying 80 gram force to its tip at a frequency of 60 Hz produces an open circuit voltage of 15V peak between its two electrical leads. When the leads are connected to a 8 Kohm resistive load, the output to the load is 5.3 Vrms, representing a power output of 3.6 mW.

Related QuestionsWhat is a pilot positioner on a pneumatic actuator?
Greenheck Fan Corporation - Products - DampersA pilot positioner is a valve that allows pneumatic actuators on control dampers to modulate. It requires a separate control air line. Commercial control damper actuators can be changed in the field from external to internal, and internal to external on most control damper models. Consult factory for details. On smoke and combination fire and smoke dampers the actuator location cannot be changed in the field.
Related QuestionsWhat is the maximum frequency of the CyberTouch actuator?
Immersion Corporation - 3D Interaction: SupportThe voltage applied to the actuator is linearly proportional to the command value. A command value of 255 will cause vibration at 125 Hz. Due to friction in the actuator, however, the command must generally be 50 or higher for the actuator to begin vibrating.
Related QuestionsWhy does the actuator fit so loosely?
FAQ'sPlastic expands and contracts with temperature. If the actuator were tight, it would bind in cold weather. The nubs on the actuator are designed to keep it from falling out. If they wear to the point that it falls out when the tester is tipped for pouring, remember to remove it when the fuel samples are returned to the aircraft fuel tank.
Related QuestionsHow do I avoid breaking the actuator probe?
FAQ'sThe actuator is made from the strongest plastic commercially available, but it can be broken. Push straight up and pull it straight out of the flush mount sump, and you will not break the actuator tip. Some larger aircraft have very stiff closure springs. If necessary, the actuator probe can be shortened slightly.
Related QuestionsIs there an easy way to remove the actuator?
FAQ'sIf you rock the actuator back and forth while pulling it out, so the nubs pop up through the hole, you can walk it out of the separator quite easily.
