A normally latched, large-stroke, inchworm microactuator
This paper presents the successful demonstration of a large-stroke, high-precision inchworm microactuator. The actuator is capable of zero-power latching, or forcibly maintaining its position by using pre-stressed spring load. The actuator is driven by a combination of a PZT-stack actuator unit for slider thrust and electrostatic comb-drive units for slider grip. Incremental step size is precis...
متن کاملComputational simulation of a magnetic microactuator for tissue engineering applications.
The next generation of tissue engineered constructs (TECs) requires the incorporation of a controllable and optimized microstructure if they are to chemically, mechanically, and biologically mimic tissue function. In order to obtain TECs with optimized microstructures, a combination of spatiotemporally regulated mechanical and biochemical stimuli is necessary during the formation of the constru...
متن کاملDesign of a Hybrid Magnetic and Piezoelectric Polymer Microactuator
Microsensors and microactuators are considered to be the most crucial elements of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and devices. There has been growing interest in the development of new microactuator technologies with an increasing requirement for low cost microswitch arrays providing large air gap and large force at the same time. In particular, large air gap/large force microactuators a...
متن کاملParaffin-pdms Composite Thermo Microactuator with Large Vertical Displacement Capability
We have micromachined and tested the first paraffin–PDMS composite thermal microactuator having multi shot large vertical displacement capabilities (~160 μm for 1 mm diameter device). A solid to liquid phase change of trapped paraffin into the PDMS is used to create a large volume dilatation of the composite (18%, for a temperature varied from 20 to 80 °C). The elasticity of the PDMS ensures th...
متن کاملA Water-Powered Osmotic Microactuator
This paper presents a microactuator that utilizes osmosis to produce mechanical actuation without consuming any electrical energy. The microactuator is made of cellulose acetate with cylindrical chamber of 500 to 2000 m in diameter and of 200 to 1000 m in depth. Sodium chloride is chosen as the osmotic driving agent to be placed inside the chamber. A semipermeable diaphragm made of cellulose ac...
