Hi
I have a question about piezoelectric actuators. I'm not an engineer and have no experience with actuators, but in looking over the first item in the data sheet http://motion-controls.globalspec.com/SpecSearch/ProductSpecs?Comp=3083&VID=96478" , I see that the maximum displacement is 5 µm with a resonant frequency of 17 khz. Does that mean the surface of the actuator is able to move 5 µm every 1/17,000 of a second?
Is the above linked actuator capable of sustaining 17 khz for extended periods? Or does it require rest.
Thanks for any help
