Methods of application of piezoelectric multilayer actuators to high-speed clutching, using displacement amplification

The suitability of electromagnetic actuating devices for application to machines with ever more demanding response time specifications is discussed, with the proposal that piezoelectric actuator technology can produce practical devices with faster response times than solenoids, for example. This the...
