The modeling approach presented here differs from previous studies in that it enables the traditional transfer matrix method to formulate both the kinetostatics and dynamics of compliant mechanisms including serial-parallel branches and rigid bodies. Another contribution of this paper is to develop a comprehensive two-port dynamic stiffness model to predict the static and dynamic behaviors of the compliant amplifier. The resonance frequency of 2.1 kHz, displacement amplification ratio of 6, and step response time of around 0.4 ms are realized with a compact size of 50 mm × 44 mm × 7 mm. The static and dynamic performances are experimentally evaluated.

A two-stage displacement flexure amplifier is proposed by synthesizing the lever-type and semi bridge-type compliant mechanisms in a compact configuration, promising to a well tradeoff between the displacement amplification ratio and dynamic bandwidth. A new type of APA with enhanced resonance frequency is herein reported based on a hybrid compliant amplifying mechanism. Ongoing interests in high-speed precision actuation continuously sparks great attention on developing fast amplified piezoelectric actuators (APAs) with compliant mechanisms. This research has certain reference value for the design and performance research of micro-drive mechanisms. The study results showed that the system had good strength and dynamic performances, and the system’s motion had the advantages of high precision and good linearity. Finally, the kinematic performance of the system was analyzed by theoretical analysis, the finite element method and experiment, and the motion linear equation was calculated based on the linear fitting equations of three methods.

Second, the strength performance of the system was analyzed by finite element analysis, and the dynamic performance of the system was analyzed by finite element analysis and experiments. First, based on the principle of a flexure hinge lever and the principle of balanced additional force, a type of precision micro-drive reduction mechanism with an adjustable reduction ratio was designed. In this paper, based on the design of a micro-drive reduction mechanism without force and displacement in non-motion direction, a precision micro-drive reduction system driven by a piezoelectric ceramic actuator (PZT) was designed, and the strength, dynamic and motion performance of the system was analyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to study precision micro-drive reduction systems. A micro-drive system is a key part of macro-micro-drive technology and precision positioning technology in which a micro-drive reduction system can provide more precise motion and suitable small space motion.
