Abstract: A two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) linear piezoelectric impact drive mechanism (PIDM) is actuated by two independent piezoelectric actuators (PAs). The coupled motion interactions of a two orthogonal DOF linear PIDM with a single friction interface are introduced and analyzed. A complete dynamic model of the 2-DOF PIDM is established with the Karnopp friction model considering the distribution of friction in the x-axis and y-axis. The output displacements of the 2-DOF PIDM and two corresponding independent 1-DOF PIDMs are investigated numerically. When the two input exciting signals of a 2-DOF PIDM have the same driving voltage of 100 V with a duty ratio of 98% at 10 Hz and two 1-DOF PIDMs are driving under the same conditions, the step displacements in the two axes of 2-DOF PIDM are improved compared to the corresponding 1-DOF PIDM. When the two input exciting signals of a 2-DOF PIDM have the same driving voltages of 100 V with a duty ratio of 98% but the driving frequency is 10 Hz in the x-axis and 20 Hz in the y-axis, the results show that the displacement of high frequency achieves a slight decrease and displacement of low frequency shows a large increase compared to the two corresponding 1-DOF PIDMs.

1. Introduction Because piezoelectric impact drive mechanisms (PIDMs) have a compact structure, high positioning accuracy, and a long stroke, they have been widely used in the fields of precision positioning [1,2]. Multiple-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) motions of stages and manipulators with PIDMs can achieve flexible and wide control in actuators. Multi-DOF motions of PIDM can be designed in two structures. The first kind of structure is the complex structure in series [3–5], for which the motions are independent and their corresponding controls are relatively simple. The second kind of structure is the compact structure in parallel [6–9], for which the motions often share a common friction interface [6,8] that leads to a coupled motion when the motions are operated at the same time [8,10]. Recent studies on parallel PIDMs have attained multi-DOF motions by using different modes of vibration under ultrasonic driving [8,11–15], and studies on series PIDMs have achieved multi-DOF motions by avoiding coupled motions [4,5,16]. However, there are few studies on the coupled motion characteristics of the parallel impact PIDM [17,18].

The working principle of the y-axis is similar to the x-axis motion when the 2-DOF PIDMs are The working principle of the y-axis is similar to the x-axis motion when the 2-DOF PIDMs are driven independently. Because the two motions share a common friction interface, the coupled motion driven independently. Because the two motions share a common friction interface, the coupled will exist when the two PAs are working together. The study of friction distribution and the value in motion will exist when the two PAs are working together. The study of friction distribution and the the x-axis and y-axis of a 2-DOF PIDM is very import. The Karnopp friction model is often used to value in the x-axis and y-axis of a 2-DOF PIDM is very import. The Karnopp friction model is often analyze the friction force in a 1-DOF PIDM, as shown in Figure3. A zero velocity interval is defined used to analyze the friction force in a 1-DOF PIDM, as shown in Figure 3. A zero velocity interval is from −a to a; then, the Karnopp friction model [22] of a 1-DOF motion is described as follows: defined from −a to a; then, the Karnopp friction model [22] of a 1-DOF motion is described as follows:  f sgn(v), |v|> a  c f = min( fe(t), fs), |v| ≤ a, fe(t) > 0 , (3)   max( fe(t), − fs), |v| ≤ a, fe(t) ≤ 0 Appl.

3. Numerical Simulation Processes Assume that the spring-mass-damper system of the PA and stage has a resonant frequency of 1 kHz and a mechanical quality factor Q of 50. Through the flexure hinge amplifier based on the principle of triangle amplification, the final output displacement of one PA can be amplified to 60 µm with a driving voltage of 100 V. The driving force of the PA can be measured by the theory of spring deformation force; thus, the conversion coefficient δ can be calculated to −0.6 N·V−1. The resonant frequency and damper ratio can be calculated according to the formulas based on free vibration as follows: s 1 k fr = , (6) 2π mp Appl. Sci. 2018, 8, 1400 5 of 10

Structural parameters of the PIDM were assumed equal in the x-axis and y-axis. By choosing an appropriate slider, the parameters for numerical simulation were calculated and are listed in Table1.

With these simulation parameters, the simulation blocks were established (Figure4) according to the abovementioned kinematics equations [36]. The whole simulation block used a subsystem module, which included a relay module, a saturation module, and a logical operator module. Thus, it could distinguish the friction force when the system was driving under different speeds. The relay module was used to judge whether the slider was sliding on the contact surface between the slider and stage. Because the stage and PA were tightly adhered, the speed of the stage and PA were assumed to be equal. If the relative speed between the slider and PA was beyond the velocity range of a in the Karnopp friction model, the sliding friction was chosen in the kinematics equations. The sliding friction was usually equal to Coulomb friction, and if the relative speed between the slider and PA was in the velocity range of a, the static friction was chosen and used with the kinematics equations according to the logical operator module. The saturation module was used to judge whether the calculated static friction exceeded the maximum static friction. If the calculated static friction was greater than the maximum static friction, the maximum static friction was chosen. If the calculated static friction was less than the maximum static friction, the calculated static friction was chosen and used with the kinematics equations. Appl. Sci. 2018, 8, 1400 6 of 10 Appl.

The results mean that by using the coupled motion, the complex motion curves can be synthesized by the two directions of the 2-DOF parallel PIDM. This study provides theoretical and technical references for the practical development of a parallel piezoelectric impact drive mechanism. Thus, a controllable complex curve motion can be realized by a parallel piezoelectric impact drive mechanism.
