ABSTRACT:
A micromotion stage comprises a stationary plate and a moving plate connected by six links each consisting of a stacked piezoelectric element serving as an actuator, a holder fixed at one end of the stacked piezoelectric element, a capacitance type displacement gage retained by the holder and a target member fixed at the other end of the stacked piezoelectric element to have a part thereof face a tip portion of the capacitance type displacement gage across a small gap. Change in the distance between the holder and the target member caused by expansion or contraction of the stacked piezoelectric element and indicative of a change in the link stroke can be detected by the capacitance type displacement gage.
