Device for compensating the tolerance in the lift direction of the displacement transformer of a piezoelectric actuator

Abstract

Abstract In a device for adaptively and mechanically compensating for the tolerance in the lift direction of the displacement transformer of a piezoelectric actuator (1), the deflection of the actuator (1) is transmitted via a hydraulic chamber (2). The hydraulic chamber (2) has a defined leak having a leak rate of ( DELTA V)/5. DELTA tmax), where DELTA V is the volume change in the hydraulic chamber (2) caused by the deflection of the actuator (1) or of the output of the displacement transformer and tmax is the maximum lift time, to be specified, of the actuator system. In the device, the deflection of the actuator (1) is initiated via a lifting piston (3) into the hydraulic chamber and is transmitted via a working piston (4) to the mass (5) which is to be driven and positioned relatively and which, in its rest position, is held relatively to a specified position by means of one or more springs (6).
