We would like to use Polytech microsystem analyzer (MSA) to characterize the resonance frequency of a fabricated cantilever and compare them with FE. However, the stage of the MSA is passive and we need an actuator to vibrate the cantilever to its resonance frequency. What would people use in such situations? Is there any commercial actuator for this purpose? Or do people design them according to their purpose?

Dear Masoud Jedari Ghourichaei
The MEMs are actuated either electrically by means of electrostatic charge or it can be actuated magnetically if it is made of magnetic material or it can be actuated mechanically by subjecting it to a mechanical knock or subjecting it to a mechanical vibration from a piezo transducer.
Best wishes
