The project shall cover the design, manufacturing and extensive test of piezoelectric motors breadboards with special attention to tribological surfaces behaviour characterization when exposed to different working conditions in terms of environment (e.g. thermal range or radiation) and loads, and particularly targeting potential application for explorationmissions (e.g. Mars). Two different BBs shall be design and characterise against a set of requirement specifications preliminarilyprovided in Annex I for consolidation.The test campaign shall be defined such that all limitations of the chosen technologies can be identified, and particularly with theintention of finally master the dependence of friction wrt working condition and life duration. Procurement Policy: C(3) = Activity restricted to SMEs RD Entities.
