A High Resolution Actuator Design For Laser Beam Steering Applications
An actuator design for beam steering micromirrors is reported. Coarse positioning is achieved with a 4-bit mechanical digital to analog converter [1]. The exact position is sensed by a set of lateral comb fingers and controlled through the leastsignificant bit of the DAC, which is embedded in a feedback loop. The actuator is designed for bilateral actuation of +/3μm with a resolution of 6nm pro...
متن کاملA low actuation voltage electrostatic actuator for RF MEMS switch applications
This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of an RF MEMS switch. Low actuation voltage and high isolation of the switch were achieved by exploiting buckling and bending effects induced by well-controlled residual stress. The effects of residual stress on improving the switch performance have been investigated using both analytical and numerical methods. The proposed RF swi...
متن کاملA New Electromagnetic Valve Actuator
In conventional internal combustion (IC) engines, engine valve displacements are fixed relative to crankshaft position. If these valves are actuated as a variable function of crankshaft angle, significant improvements in fuel economy can be achieved. Existing electromagnetically actuated variable-valve-timing (VVT) systems characteristically use springs to provide the large inertial power to mo...
متن کاملAn Elasticity Solution for Static Analysis of Functionally Graded Curved Beam Subjected to a Shear Force
In this paper, using 2-D theory of elasticity, a closed-form solution is presented for stressdistributions and displacements of a FG curved beam under shear force at its free end. The materialproperties are assumed to vary continuously through the radial direction based on a simple power lawmodel and Poisson’s ratio is supposed to be constant. In order to verify the solution, it is shown that a...
متن کاملA small-gap electrostatic micro-actuator for large deflections
Common quasi-static electrostatic micro actuators have significant limitations in deflection due to electrode separation and unstable drive regions. State-of-the-art electrostatic actuators achieve maximum deflections of approximately one third of the electrode separation. Large electrode separation and high driving voltages are normally required to achieve large actuator movements. Here we rep...
