NEW STARTSTOP ULTRASONIC PIEZOELECTRIC NANOMOTOR UPM22 WITH ULTRAHIGH RESOLUTION AND ULTRAHIGH TORQUE FOR NANOPOSITIONING SYSTEM AND OTHER APPLICATIONS Description technologies, hospital equipment, prostheses; food industry – weight batch equipment, piezoelectric driven ball valves; LILEYA’s nanopositioning inexpensive unidirectional rotation banking equipment and security systems – safe, locks, auto piezoelectric motor UPM22 (fig.1) on the bases standing matic opening and closing of doors. wave combine high torque, variable speed, and high angular resolution using new piezoelectric generator. The piezoelectric motor UPM22 can be used in either continuous or stepper mode to provide accurate angular positioning. When the piezoelectric motor is deenergized, it operates as a position ing holder (brake) with practically undetectable backlash and drift. The inbuilt angle positioning system (using the magnet "marks" established by the customer himself) enables to real ize the shaft fixation in chosen positions. The motor control is carried out by means of the driver on two lines of the XP1 joint (see driver to UPM20 www.piezomotor.com.ua ) Fig.1 Ultrasonic Piezoelectric NanoMotor UPM22 Innovative Aspect and Main Advantages Devices on the bases UPM22 The motor operation employs the radial oscillation of a propri etary ringbased piezoelectric resonator operating at approxi mately 80 kHz. Each cycle of radial nanooscillation by means of the rotor produces a single step of angular movement. A continuous sequence of single angular step results in a smooth angular/rotary movement of the shaft on which the rotor is mounted. The magnitude of the resulting nanomove ment depends on the number of single angular steps made, which depends on the duration of excitation. The minimum step approximately 0.5 arcsec corresponds to duration of exci tation of between 40 and 60 μs. The lightweight rotor of the Fig.2 Peristaltic micropump Fig.3 Microsyringe motor (approximately 20 g) and the high torque 0.5 N*m PSF100 MS1 results in high acceleration, so that the time from a demand to maximum speed (30 rev/min is less then 0.3 ms. The corre Stage of Development sponding deceleration torque is 0.4 N*m. These characteris LILEYA’s unique designs is being patented : tics facilitate a smooth transition from an angular step of 0.5 arcsec to continuous motion, a wide range of angular veloci • in the World ( PCT Application) ties, from 0.5 arcsec/s to 30 rev/min (equivalent to about 6 • in Ukraine ( Application Serial N 2006 11804) orders of magnitude dynamic range). LILEYA builds motors with superior high performance charac Technical data for ultrasonic piezoelectric motor UPM22 teristics and it can produce 100010000 motors per year, now, larger production is possible.
