Inchworm Actuators

Inchworm Actuators is a type of piezoelectric linear actuator that achieves precise motion through a cyclic sequence of gripping and stepping actions, mimicking the locomotion of an inchworm, thereby enabling high-resolution positioning and large travel ranges in micro- and nano-scale manipulation systems.
