Piezo Actuator with Arduino
dariomilani89 2016-05-01 07:07:43 6169 Views5 Replies Dear all,
I would like to know if there is already a consistent way to control a Piezo Actuator with Arduino, preferably Arduino Uno.
More precisely, I am looking forward a solution to change the relative position of two points. These points should be placed at a default distance of 3cm, and I would need to induce a relative displacement in the order of 1cm.
Is there any (plug & play) solution available?
Best regards

2016-05-09 07:26:22 Thanks,
I had a look at that page, but honestly I don't understand how these actuators are working. Talking about prices, I cannot go more than " Memory Metal Actuator - NM706 (Super) ", especially when I'll combine several of them.
Are there existing library to control this piezo?
Can it be controlled linearly?
Could you indicate an existing video/application?
Thanks a lot.

Sorry, went to a vocation and just came back...
Thanks for your link, I think this would be a bit of help to you... https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route= ... ption=true, they could be controled easily by 5V voltage, i.e. by Arduino Uno.
But the longest actuator's stroke is 0.325 inch/ 0.825cm...limited, but you could also consider the rotary one. Leff

thanks for your answer. Here is what I had in mind, more or less.
I had in mind something like the first example you can visualise in:
http://www.smart-material.com/ActuatorS ... 0wodud4IVQ under what they call:
"Macro Fiber Composite - MFC". Their products however involve too high voltage.
Best regards,
Dario dariomilani89

What kind of Piezo Actuator do you mean? I only know these two piezo modules, seems not the same thing, could you show me an example?
Gravity: Digital Piezo Disk Vibration Sensor
Energy Harvester - LTC3588 Breakout Leff
