The focal plane image stabilization for a satellite camera is one of the an effective method which can increase the satellite camera's image quality by removing the motion disturbance of a focal plane. The objectives of this article are to introduce the concept of the focal plane image stabilization and determine the best driving conditions of the actuator for the response and thrust. Under various driving condition the experiments have been performed to investigate the response and thrust characteristics of the piezoelectric driven stick-slip actuator of the focal plane image stabilizing device. From experiments, the best driving frequency and duty ratio for the magnesium slider are 70 kHz and 27%, respectively.

In general, precise linear actuators using piezoelectric element are driven by friction force. Exact understanding of friction plays an important role in analysis and control of a motor. In this research, we designed a precise linear actuator using piezoelectric elements and observed its dynamic characteristics. By varying phase angle difference and amplitudes of the sinusoidal waves that are driving inputs, we can know that it is possible to control moving direction and distance of the slider. As preload is increased, its moving distance is decreased. And also, we have modeled a precise linear actuator using stick slip friction models such as classical, Karnopp. and reset integrator. Finally, by comparing the results of simulation and experiment, it was verified that the model is well designed.

The high-technology industries including a semi-conductor and an information communication need an ultra-precision technology from the technological points of view. Nano technology based on an ultra-precision technology is being studied to overcome the delicate technology that may occur in the semi-conductor fields. Then, the transferring equipment with high resolution and long displacement becomes an important technology. The goal of this study is to analyze the displacement magnification mechanism driven by piezoelectric actuator which has high resolution and fast response characteristics using flexure hinge with the merits of soft displacement, negligible back-lash and stick-slip, and no-lubrication. The analyses to reduce the magnification losses occurred during the magnification process are performed using ANSYS software based on FEM. The five design variables such as arm thickness, thickness of hinge, radius of hinge, length of input side at the 1st lever and magnification ratio of 1st lever are optimized to induce the maximum magnification ratio using Taguchi method.
