Abstract:
At present, micro electromechanical systems appear to be progressively applicable in
engineering. The problem of reducing weight-and-dimensional characteristics of the spacecraft
(SC) system is of great importance in the space field. One of the solutions is replacement of
electromechanical motors in different SC units by piezo motors. It is necessary to take into
account the condition of consistency of PZT stack actuators (the sources of mechanical energy)
with the load when calculating and designing the piezo motors of high energy transfer coefficient.
In this case, the most relevant is mathematical modeling of a product design with correct
consideration of the specific drive load in an actual industrial field.
Mathematical modeling by the finite element method in combination with 3D numerical
simulation is most accurate and appropriate. However, this method is laborious and timeconsuming.
In practice, designers and constructors prefer to use simple linear one-dimensional
mathematical models, which provide an accurate information about materials and product design.
In linear one-dimensional models of oscillatory systems for the range of frequencies applied in
piezo motors, it is necessary to consider the acoustic and mechanical principles of energy
conversion and transfer from the source to the load. In this paper, a one-dimensional mathematical
model of the piezo motor with consideration of mechanical and acoustic energy transfer is
developed. This model allows calculating the frequency–response characteristics of mechanical
acoustic oscillating system according to which the materials of elements and design of the drive
are chosen
