Questions and Answers

What is the primary mechanism by which piezoceramic actuators operate?

The piezoelectric effect, where the material deforms in response to an applied electric field.

What is the main advantage of magnetostrictive actuators?

High force output and the ability to generate large strokes.

How do Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators operate?

Through the shape memory effect and superelasticity, where the material undergoes reversible phase transformations in response to temperature or stress changes.
