Miniature Flexible Pneumatic Actuator

Abstract:

This document deals with optimization of flexible pneumatic actuator (APF), used to develop a force of thrust. It was intended for efficient routing of strain and was carried out for research on materials used, shape of pressurized chamber, and the introducing of no elastic materials for fittings and fixtures. This study was focused on the properties of compressed air and makes a small pneumatic actuator that develops useful force by expanding the volume of a pressurized chamber made out of elastic material. The research performed on this type of actuator has led to a small APF (10-20 mm) with more than satisfactory results, with a wide range of uses in automation, robotics, medicine, aviation and more.
