ELECTROMECHANICAL POSITIONING UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to an electromechanical positioning unit as an inertial drive to position objects to within an atom and positioning extents in the cm range. The positioning unit comprises at least one preferably tubular piezoelectric actuator to transmit electrically controllable inertial movements to a cursor. The object of the invention is a cursor consisting of at least one unit of high mass (mass unit) and at least one flexible unit (bending unit) so that the strength of the frictional adhesion can be adjusted via the bending unit(s) of the cursor and the mass unit of the cursor ensures that the positioning unit can be heavily loaded. This combination makes it possible for even heavy objects to the positioning by the positioning unit and for considerable forces to be exerted when it is used as a tool.
