  abstract = {Piezoelectric inertia motors also known as stick-slip motors or (smooth)
	impact
	
	drives use the inertia of a body to drive it in small steps by means
	of an uninterrupted
	
	friction contact. In addition to the typical advantages of piezoelectric
	motors, they are especially
	
	suited for miniaturisation due to their simple structure and inherent
	fine-positioning capability.
	
	Originally developed for positioning in microscopy in the 1980s, they
	have nowadays also found
	
	application in mass-produced consumer goods. Recent research results
	are likely to enable more
	
	applications of piezoelectric inertia motors in the future. This contribution
	gives a critical overview
	
	of their historical development, functional principles, and related
	terminology. The most relevant
	
	aspects regarding their design i.e., friction contact, solid state
	actuator, and electrical excitation are
	
	discussed, including aspects of control and simulation. The article
	closes with an outlook on possible
	
	future developments and research perspectives.},
