What is the maximum frequency at which a QuickPack actuator can operate?
When the actuator is being operated as a strain actuator (e.g., bonded to a surface) it can operate over a very broad frequency range, from zero to at least 20 kHz. However, it is recommended that the standard QuickPack actuators not be operated with more than 20 Wrms of input power (power consumption is related to drive frequency). For a sinusoidal input, the power can be calculated by multiplying the required rms current (see equation above and divide result by the square root of 2) by the rms input voltage (peak voltage divided by the square root of 2).
