Journal ArticleDOI
A power air-jet actuator with piezotranslator drive stage
TL;DR: In this paper, a fast response actuator using the momentum of an air jet for the control of objects with a minimum of mechanical contact utilizes a piezoelectric input stage for ease of interfacing with a digital processor based controller.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of a bimorph piezotranslator device for electro-pneumatic power conversion
TL;DR: In this article, a new electro-pneumatic power converter operated on a pulsewidth modulated mode for the proportional control of the momentum of an air jet has been developed which utilizes a bimorph piezotranslator as a flapper for fast response, low cost and ease of interfacing with a digital processor based controller.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse width modulated reinforced piezo air jet actuators
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach based upon pulse width modulation is employed for the control of an air jet actuator with a multilayer reinforced bimorph piezoelectric flapper for use as either a direct power actuator or as a pilot stage for the vector control of a main power jet.
