Active Rotor Control Phase II SBIR Project funded by U.S. Army TSI and the University of Maryland are working to develop single-crystal piezoceramics actuators for rotor primary control. Low hysteresis, high stroke PMN stacks are used to drive a hydraulic pump and develop a flow rate through hydraulic actuators featuring nano magnetorheological fluid. The control system technology will be applicable to a wide range of end-users in the defense, commercial, and industry sectors. The low-cost, retrofittable actuator system is particularly attractive for high-performance aircraft, UAVs, missile systems, spacecraft, adaptive optics, and other applications where high bandwidth, large displacement, and high actuation forces are required in an energy efficient and compact package. ![]() |
