Piezoelectricity is fascinating phenomenon that occurs when certain materials generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress. This unique property has a wide range of applications, from powering small electronic devices to precision motion.

Piezoelectric actuators fast and precise but they provide only a small amount of motion. In many applications, it is advantageous to increase their motion range by using mechanical means.
Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is driven to oscillate at its natural frequency. When an external force or a periodic disturbance matches the natural frequency of the system, it can cause the system to oscillate with larger amplitude.
Fast Steering Mirrors (FSMs) are advanced optical devices designed to rapidly and precisely control the direction of a mirror. They are used for stabilizing laser beams, precisely pointing and tracking lasers, and enhancing image stabilization in optical systems.
Motion control systems have 3 important types of errors that needs to be dealt with: hysteresis, non-linearity and creep.
Piezoactuators are often need to be preloaded for safe operation. Several methods are used to achieve enough compression on the ceramics. Springs, conical washers, compliant structures can be used depending on the design
