Haptic Actuators: How LRA and ERM Stack Up With Piezo Actuators

Three haptic actuator types have been used in haptic applications to provide tactile feedback: eccentric rotating mass actuators (ERM), linear resonant actuators (LRA), and piezoelectric actuators. ERMs were famous once due to their low cost.

The Impact of Integrating a Piezo Driver in Haptic Trackpads

In 2020, haptic-based trackpads were introduced, making mechanical pads a thing of the past. Haptics is a high-end, new technology that improves user experience by stimulating the sense of touch and giving tactile feedback. This technology uses vibrations to mimic the sensation of pressing a...

The Purpose of Haptic Feedback in Cell Phone Devices

What is haptic feedback? Well, have you ever noticed how your phone vibrates when you receive a text or phone call? That's haptic feedback, and it's an increasingly popular feature in cell phones and other devices. Haptic feedback is a form of sensory feedback that allows you to feel phone haptic...

Why the Haptic Technology Market Is Evolving

Touchscreen technology has made a significant impact on our everyday lives. People from every walk of life utilize it in restaurants, schools, stores, and manufacturing industries. But slowly and steadily, touchscreen technology is starting to emerge in haptic devices that offer an improved user...

Piezoelectric Uses in Our Everyday Applications

The piezoelectric effect is one of the most intriguing scientific concepts out there — the phenomenon of converting mechanical energy to electrical energy, and vice versa. Piezoelectricity relies on materials with a lattice structure — either naturally occurring quartzes, or human-made materials...
