Mikroniek April 2026: Developments in Dynamics

The April issue of Mikroniek presents developments in dynamics. The main theme article introduces a bouncing stage concept that can circumvent actuator-force limits in precision positioning.


Other theme features are concerned with the analysis of the shock resistance of medical devices, the design of next-generation gas foil bearings, and a novel passive damping concept for improving the system dynamics of a lithography metrology tool. Also included are an exposition of the relevance of intellectual property for engineers, and a report of the VCCN Cleanliness Day 2026. Click here for a first impression.
