A comprehensive explanation on the rectangular pulse drive methodology is presented.
A resonant-type piezoelectric inertia motor using a bending actuator is developed.
The motor features simple mechanical and electrical design, which makes it ideal for miniature electro-mechanical device applications.
In addition to larger power density, the efficiency of the prototype motor is considerably increased compared with static type inertia motor.
Small rotor can provide high rotation with 5 rpm/Vpp, while a large preload can provide high torque with 15 μNm/Vpp.
