초록

The bending actuator using zigzag type shape memory alloy springs has been fabricated and characterized. The small sized actuator with outer diameter of 3.0mm and inner diameter of 2.0mm could be implemented because zigzag type spring has advantages for thin wall type actuator over the coil type spring. The measured characteristics of the fabricated bending actuator show the possibility of practical application to micro active bending catheter.
