Abstract Background  A lot of efforts have been devoted to the instrument development of simultaneous precision positioning and vibration control for on-orbit optical payloads. However, only series schemes with two active elements which, in fact, are coarse and fine hybrid mechanisms, are researched in despite of adverse impacts on the whole mass and dimensions, control strategy and energy usage. Thus, a new magnetostrictive integrated actuator with just one single active element is proposed to realize those two functions together. Methods  The detailed scheme is introduced, and the selection of some key parameters are explained first. Then, the explicit expressions are derived and the performances are preliminarily studied by numerical simulations. Finally, a prototype is fabricated, and experimental tests are carried out in view of external disturbances with different frequencies. Conclusions  The results indicate that the developed actuator can not only actively control the low-frequency disturbances but also can passively suppress the middle-high frequency micro-vibrations during precision positioning.

Introduction Although the on-orbit optical payloads have grown exponentially due to the evolution of various new techniques in recent years, the realization of higher observation precision still presents itself as a major challenge for current engineering [1]. On the one hand, it means that its driving component should possess a high positioning accuracy for aligning the target. On the other hand, as to the undesirable micro-vibrations such as the ultra-low frequency disturbances from flexible appendages and the middle-high frequency harmonic disturbances from control moment gyroscopes (CMG), flywheels, etc., it also should have potential to control for reducing image jitters [2–5]. Nowadays, a compact driving * Xiaoqing Sun [email protected] 1

component that can realize those two functions simultaneously is eagerly desired with the development trend of miniaturization and integration of the optical payloads [6]. Thus, the development of such driving component that we name integrated actuator is very important. The conception of simultaneous positioning and vibration control is initially proposed from engineering control-theoretic perspective. Prof. Ma and Ghasemi-Nejhad
