Abstract: In the field of intelligent drive and sense, the traditional actuator can realize linear actuation and lacks sensing function. Therefore, a new sensing actuator is designed, which can not only output force and displacement, but also have thrust anti-torque sensing function. Firstly, the model of piezoelectric actuator is designed, and the geometric and mechanical models are established. Furthermore, the geometric relationship of mechanical and electrical parameters is analyzed. Secondly, the optimal included angles are determined after finite element analysis and optimization. Finally, the maximum output displacement is obtained through finite element analysis, and the maximum strain position is pointed out. Besides, the rotational stiffness is obtained. The results show that the modeling method and simulation results are accurate.
