How to Select the Right Haptic Piezo Driver and Actuator Combination

A piezo haptic solution is two components that have to be chosen together: the actuator, which produces the movement, and the driver, which amplifies the voltage and controls it. Choose one without the other in mind and the result underperforms, however good either part is on its own. This article...

Mechanical Fundamentals of Piezo Haptic Actuators

A haptic actuator is made of two parts: an engine that generates acceleration, and a mass for that engine to move. Eccentric rotating mass (ERM) and linear resonant actuator (LRA) units ship with both parts inside the same component. A piezoelectric actuator is only the engine, which is why bonding...
