This paper shows a new precision actuator of MUTM(miniature universal testing machine) for the testing of compression and tensile load on the MEMS materials and structures. The MUTM consists of a sample holder, an ultraprecision precision actuator(tranlation stage) and load sensor. The precision actuator has been developed for generating displacements with nanometer accuracy and a dynamic range of 1mm simultaneously. In this paper, it can be made by using the displacement property of bi-morph type PZT, which is able to extend the long range(stroke) according to cantilever size. However, it is not enough to be generated for compression and tensile load in miniature universal testing machine. Therefore, three dozen bi-morph type PZTs are used for generating the load. The load and displacement of the precision actuator are 35g and 0.4mm respectively.
