Piezo 2D linear motor
Piezo motor designs
“The actuator consists of a piezo-ceramic plate of size LxWx0.5L (X, Y, Z), polarized in the Y-direction. The two large faces of the plate are covered by electrodes. On the front are the two exciter electrodes, each covering half of the surface. The rear surface has a single electrode that serves as a common drain. On one long edge of the plate is a pusher, made of aluminum oxide.”, pdf
