Inchworm motor
text:
The inchworm motor is a device that uses piezoelectric actuators to move a shaft with nanometer precision. In its simplest form, the inchworm motor uses three piezo-actuators mounted inside a tube (1) and electrified in sequence to grip a shaft (4) which is then moved in a linear direction. Motion of the shaft is due to the extension of the lateral piezo (2) pushing on two clutching piezos (3).
