Piezoelectric Inertia Motors—A Critical Review of History, Concepts, Design, Applications, and Perspectives
Piezoelectric inertia motors—also known as stick-slip motors or (smooth) impact drives—use the inertia of a body to drive it in small steps by means of an uninterrupted friction contact. In addition to the typical advantages of piezoelectric motors, they are especially suited for miniaturisation due...
