Zusammenfassung:A piezohydraulic actuator system includes four chambers: a first chamber defined by a drive bellows filled with a hydraulic fluid and movable by a piezo actuator, a second chamber defined by a hydraulic cylinder filled with the hydraulic fluid, which defines a first output; a third chamber defined by an output bellows filled with the hydraulic fluid, which defines a second output; and a fourth chamber defining a reservoir of the hydraulic fluid. The drive bellows is hydraulically connected via a first check valve to the second chamber. A hydraulic piston in the hydraulic cylinder is coupled mechanically to the output bellows. The drive bellows is hydraulically connected via a second check valve to the fourth chamber. The hydraulic fluid reservoir is hydraulically connected via a third check valve to the output bellows, and the hydraulic cylinder is hydraulically connected via a fourth check valve to the output bellows.
