Review of the State and Prospects of Development and Application of Domestic Multilayer Piezoactuator for Rocket and Space Technology and Ground space Infrastructure

The article gives an overview of the state of development and applications of actuators in the world. A method and technology for manufacturing domestic multilayer piezoelectric elements by the method of slip casting from the piezomaterial of the PZT system and multilayer piezoelectric actuators based on them is described. It is noted that in terms of their technical level, multilayer domestic piezo products correspond to the best foreign samples. Preliminary studies of multilayer piezoelectric products in Russia and abroad have confirmed their unique capabilities when they work in space instrumentation and ground structures for monitoring and controlling space objects. The results of studies on the use of multilayer piezo products of JSC "NII "Elpa" and their foreign analogues in systems are given. The results of the study of various design options for piezoelectric platforms of angular and linear displacements with nanometric accuracy are presented. The optimal design options are selected based on the use of special multilayer piezoactuator APM-1 and APM-2 for their use in rocket and space technology instruments and ground-based space infrastructure. The technology developed at JSC Research Institute Elpa makes it possible to create promising multilayer piezo products of various classes and purposes for rocket and space equipment and ground-based space infrastructure.
