Re: Piezo ceramics as cutting head drivers?

Today I understood that the mechanical lever in direct type injectors is not used to extend the movement, but to reverse its direction (the injector must be open when voltage is applied, not when there is no voltage). In the senis of using injectors, I thought of them as the source of the piezo stac...

Re: Piezo ceramics as cutting head drivers?

There are two varieties; the indirect one (with shorter piezo stack + chydraulic motion amplifier) ​​and the direct one with a longer piez...

Re: Anyone know any <200 turntables with lots of torque?

Since the topic has been refreshed, one of my proposals is the Technics Sl-1700. It has the same engine and platter as the SL1200, but it is much cheaper, especially damaged ones. From this turntable we can pull out the motor itself (the arm will also be useful, it is also the same as in the SL1200)...
