Design and Analysis for the Hybrid Capacitance and Micro-Leverage Amplifier Actuator

Article Preview

Abstract:

This new hybrid capacitance and micro-leverage amplifier actuator was based on modifying existing structure and mechanism. That overcame the drawback of small displacement of the capacitance actuator in virtual of the micro-leverage amplifier. The amplifier time of the single micro-leverage amplifier was 4.5. Connect the 1×9 array with nine electrostatic capacitance micro-actuators with the amplifier and form a polymer actuator. The actuator whole size was limited to 4×4 mm, the maximum output displacement was 42μm under 15V voltage input. The pull-in voltage of the actuator array was 19V.
