Abstract

Actuators like PZT or GMA have small stroke and high force at their output. There are several applications, where is necessary to enlarge small stroke. This paper deals with stroke amplifiers. Next part of paper shows the application of amplified actuators.

Keywords:
amplifier positioning actuator stroke force displacement
