Typical characteristic values of piezoceramic bending actuators are dominated by their total displacement and the blocking force at the operating voltage.
The maximum deflection of a Piezo bending actuator and the maximum blocking force can be easily determined.
Performance features of three different kinds of Piezo actuators: Comparison of values of force and deflection of stacks, actuators with path transformations and bending actuators.
