Step Modelling of a High Precision 2DoF (Linear-Angular) Microsystem

In this paper, a new type of microsystem is presented : a system able to perform linear and angular motion. First, the microactuator used is studied. An approximation of the working equations is proposed in accordance with Finite-Element simulation. The microactuator used is inserted in the microsystem and a separated modelling of the whole system in linear and in angular motion is given. Stick and skid phases of each motion are independently studied.
