Abstract:A pneumatic piezoelectric linear actuator (PPLA) is proposed, which possesses the advantages of low power consumption, environmental friendliness, and high linearity of positioning. The prototype of the PPLA consists of a piezoelectric gas pump with serial chambers and a cylinder. The piezoelectric gas pump with serial chambers is designed with a wedge valve and flexible support structure, which results in high output performance and meets the working requirements of pneumatic linear actuators. Prototypes of P… Show more
