The steady state approximation is applied to write the equilibrium between the different forces acting on the pumping membrane: the actuation force [F.sub.B], proportional to the voltage U(t) applied on the piezoelectric bender; the counterpressure force [F.sub.P], due to the fluid inside the pumping chamber; the elastic restoring force of the membrane [F.sub.E], coupled with the piezoelectric bender and the mesa; and the mechanical stop forces [F.sub.Up] and [F.sub.Down], acting as linear springs only when the membrane reaches the upper or lower mechanical stops.
