چکیده
The shuffle motor is a electrostatic stepper motor that employs a mechanical transformation to obtain high forces and small steps. A model has been made to calculate the driving voltage, step size and maximum load to pull as well as the optimal geometry. Tests results are an effective step size of about 85 nm and a maximum produced force of about 40 pN at 40V clamping voltage and 25 V actuator voltage.

A linear electrostatic stepper motor has been designed and fabricated in a single mask surface micromachining process.. It consists of two drive units that alternately generate a step to move the shuttle. The friction and adhesion in the clamps has been measured. A friction coefficient of 0.8 * 0.3 have been found. The adhesion in the clamp is just low enough to release the clamping shoe. Stepp...

متن کاملHigh-Performance Shuffle Motor Fabricated by Vertical Trench Isolation Technology
Shuffle motors are electrostatic stepper micromotors that employ a built-in mechanical leverage to produce large output forces as well as high resolution displacements. These motors can generally move only over predefined paths that served as driving electrodes. Here, we present the design, modeling and experimental characterization of a novel shuffle motor that moves over an unpatterned, elect...
