Design and Prototyping of a Linear Electromechanical Actuator

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the design and prototype of an electromechanical actuator with some constraints that allow creating a feasible prototype with reasonably accuracy. Also, was consider the variation of friction forces due to changes in load conditions to obtain the mathematical relation between the maximum load, the required motor torque and the maximum angular acceleration of the payload; important parameters that contribute to determine the suitable motor.
