A new precision rotary PZT actuator was proposed to improve its drive capabilities. The actuator is based on the piezoelectric (PZT) technology. The actuator adopts the principle of bionics and works with a new method of stator inner clamp/rotor outer drive and a distortion structure of thin shelf flexible hinge. This structure improved stability of its clamp and step rotary. Its characteristic was analyzed from the finite element analyses. The experiment shows that the new rotary PZT actuator worked with high frequency (40Hz), high speed (3251arad/s), large travel (360~), high resolution(1 urad/step) and high torque (30N.cm). The actuator will be applied for large travel and high resolution driving device, optics engineering, precision positioning and some micro-manipulation field.
