Piezo SHOCK Show #20: How do you measure the blocking force of a piezoelectric actuator?

Husain Shekhani • Sep 08, 2021

Welcome to the Piezo SHOCK Show #20. There are two parameters that fully describe a piezoelectric actuator -  those parameters are blocking force and free displacement. Free displacement is rather easy to measure. Blocking force measurements, on the other hand, requires careful fixturing. In this video, I describe the general approach of how to measure blocking force as well as some details around multilayer actuator measurements.
