An increasing variety of applications require MEMS actuators with large travel and force, as well as excellent precision and rapid positioning. In this talk, I'll present an electrically actuated dipole surface drive with unparalleled acceleration of 1000g, a resonant frequency of 17 kHz, and a travel over 15 microns at 70V. This device can be positioned with sub-angstrom resolution and, importantly, operates in ambient conditions which allow it to position...
