The electroelastic engine with the piezoelectric or electrostriction effect for nanobiomechanics is used in nanomanipulator, scanning microscopy, nanopump. The use of the electroelastic engine is promising in the equipment of nanobiotechnology, microelectronics and nanotechnology. The electroelastic engine is the electromechanical device for actuating and controlling mechanisms, systems with the conversion of electrical signals into mechanical displacements and forces.1–5 The piezo engine is used for nanoscale motion in interferometry, scanning microscopy, adaptive optics, laser systems, focusing and image stabilization systems, vibration damping, micromanipulation in cells. The electroelastic engine is provided range of movement from nanometers to microns, loading capacity up to 1000 N, fast response 1-10 ms. The multilayer electroelastic engine is designed to increase the range of movement up to tens of microns.6–29
