Design and Evaluation of a Direct Drive Valve Actuated by Piezostack Actuator
This paper presents performance characteristics of a new type of direct drive valve (DDV) system driven by a piezostack actuator. The flexible beam mechanism is employed to amplify the output displacement from the piezostack actuator. After describing the operational principle of the proposed piezo...
