Abstract
This paper proposes an optimal design for a precision motion stage employing a parallelogram flexure hinge. The voltage applied to the piezo element produces motion that is amplified through a 3-stage amplification structure. Especially, instead of the generally used conic section flexure hinge a parallelogram shaped flexure hinge is used that improves the flexibility of the lever. An Finite Element Analysis is performed on each motion stage lever where optimal design was achieved using Response Surface Methodology(RSM).
