How to Choose a Haptic Actuator: Piezo vs LRA vs ERM

A haptic actuator is an electromechanical component that converts an electrical signal into tactile feedback. Three types dominate device design: eccentric rotating mass (ERM), linear resonant actuators (LRA), and piezoelectric actuators. They differ in response time, frequency bandwidth, power...
