A bidirectional shape memory alloy folding actuator
This paper presents a low-profile bidirectional folding actuator based on annealed shape memory alloy sheets applicable for mesoand microscale systems. Despite the advantages of shape memory alloys—high strain, silent operation, and mechanical simplicity—their application is often limited to unidirectional operation. We present a bidirectional folding actuator that produces two opposing 180 mot...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloy Actuator forBio-medical application
In this paper various applications of shape memory alloys (SMA) in bio-medical field based upon their material properties are discussed, and a novel SMA spring actuator design for biopsy is proposed. Design parameters such as spring configuration, wire diameter required for designing the actuator were defined and obtained through experiments. Finally, itconcludeswith the possibility of using SM...
متن کاملMagnetic Shape Memory Alloy and Actuator Design
In the field of micromechatronics, microrobotics and specially microfactories, active materials are used in most cases. They permit high resolution and distributed actuation. In this area, Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MSMA) are possible candidates. If a lot of studies deal with MSMA, only few applications use them until now. MSMA are attractive active materials because they have large strain (...
متن کاملExperimental Hysteresis Identification and Micro-position Control of a Shape-Memory-Alloy Rod Actuator
In order to exhaustively exploit the high-level capabilities of shape memory alloys (SMAs), they must be applied in control systems applications. However, because of their hysteretic inherent, dilatory response, and nonlinear behavior, scientists are thwarted in their attempt to design controllers for actuators of such kind. The current study aims at developing a micro-position control system ...
متن کاملA novel low-profile shape memory alloy torsional actuator
This paper presents low-profile torsional actuators applicable for mesoscale and microscale robots. The primary actuator material is thermally activated Ni–Ti shape memory alloy (SMA), which exhibits remarkably high torque density. Despite the advantages of SMAs for actuator applications—high strain, silent operation, and mechanical simplicity—the response time and energy efficiency limit overa...
