Bridge-type displacement amplifiers are compliant mechanisms that are widely used in high-precision positioning, where they are typically employed to amplify the input displacement of a piezo-actuator. This paper presents a quasi-static model for the amplifier considering the effect of elastic deformation of the beam and the flexure hinges. Closed-form expressions for the amplification ratio of the amplifier, the angular deformation of the beam, and the necessary force are derived in terms of geometric parameters of the amplifier. The dependence of the amplification ratio on the geometric parameters of the connecting-beam and its tilt angle is studied, and the optimal values of the same are obtained. Additionally, two characteristic length-scales are identified, and guidelines are proposed for choosing the beam-length for a desired amplification in terms of these length-scales. In all cases, the analytical results are validated by comparing them with those of finite element analysis.
