We expect to use the results from the simulation to construct motors for driving MRI compatible surgical robots.PIEZOELECTRIC AEROSPACE MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENTĪPC International is proud to offer a full range of piezoelectric products that deliver the precision and functionality required by the aerospace industry. Then, we validate the motor performance through a time-domain simulation. We confirm the resonant modes with a frequency domain study. We first perform an eigenfrequency analysis of the stator structure in order to determine the resonant modes. Electrically driving the crystal through electrodes platted on its surface induce a vibration mode with a traveling wave that frictionally couples and torques the rotor. Ultrasonic piezoelectric motors consist of a stator with a bonded ceramic crystal and a rotor. Piezoelectric simulations are inherently multi-physics requiring both mechanical and electrical components. We simulate and evaluate a model of an ultrasonic piezoelectric actuator. Piezoelectric motors provide a suitable alternative in these applications where non-ferromagnetic based construction or low inertia may be required. Operation in strong magnetic fields, vacuum or high precision positioning has often surpassed the limits of traditional actuators.
