In this paper, we discusses compliant actuators those are made of electrostrictive polymer. Electrostrictive polymer actuators(EPAs) are based on the deformation of dielectric elastomer polymer in the presence of an electric field. We address actual design and fabrication method of an actuator using the electrostrictive polymer. We have developed primitive prototypes of the actuator using elastic restoring force. And they actuators have 1 to 3 DOF, 1 DOF actuators are simple linear actuators and 3 DOF actuator has linear actuation and steering capability. They are simple in structure with lightweight, high trust, force and large stroke. Basic design principles and experimental procedures for confirming their performance will be introduced.

This paper presents the fabrication of inchworm motor for high precision actuator system of large displacement and high force. The inchworm motor consists of a extend actuator that provides displacement of tool guide and two clamping actuators which provide the holding force. In order to avoid the PZT fracture, design of pre-load housing was conducted by flexure hinge structure, because PZT actuator has low tensile and shear. To design the pre-load housing and optimize the clamping mechanism, the static and dynamic analysis were conducted by finite element method. From these results, a prototype of the inchworm motor was fabricated and dynamic characteristic with respect to the various frequency was tested. The maximum velocity of the inchworm motor was $41.1{\mu}m/s$ at 16Hz.

Asymmetric cylinders are usually used as an actuator of active suspensions. The conventional optimal controller design does not include actuator dynamics as a state. and force controller is needed to track the desired force. But the actuator is not ideal, so performance of an active suspension system is degraded. In this paper, we take account nonlinear actuator dynamics and obtain a linear model using a feedback linearization technique then apply optimal control method. For real time application, gain-scheduling method is used. Effectiveness of proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulation of 1/4 car model.

A servo actuator with a valve using MR (Magneto-Rheological) fluid is proposed for fluid control systems. The MR fluid is well known as a functional fluid whose apparent viscosity is controlled by the applied magnetic field strength. The pressure in the MR cylinder can be controlled by the applied magnetic field strength. Good points of the MR cylinder are more simple, compact and reliable structure than a conventional oil hydraulic cylinder. The experimental results show that the MR cylinder could be used as a servo actuator.

The micromachined variable optical attenuator(VOA) was presented in the paper. The VOA has two single mode fiber(SMF) aligned with free space and symmetric parallel plate actuator with microshutter, which can control a amount of light by driving the actuator. In the paper, analysis on driving performances of the VOA was performed and can be reduced threshold voltage through the decreasing displacement actuating range. This paper presents a VOA that is fabricated using bosch deep silicon etching process with silicon on insulator(SOD wafer. The VOA consists of driving electrode, ground electrode, actuating microshutter, and mechanical stopper. In this VOA, actuating shutter is driven by electrostatic force and the threshold voltage is close to 28V, 46V come along with the spring width of 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively. Attenuation range is measured from 2.4㏈ to 16.7㏈.

In the present paper, a new type of electrical actuator, an electromagnetic force driving actuator (EMFA), applicable to air circuit breaker is developed and analyzed. Transient analysis is performed to obtain the dynamic characteristics of EMFA. The distribution of static magnetic flux is obtained using the finite element method. The coupled problems of electrics and mechanics governing equations are solved using the time-difference method. According to the interception rate of each contactor, investigation of the contactor spring load condition is conducted and applied to the threelink system. Comparisons of the dynamic characteristics of the three-link simulation and experimental data are performed.

An actuator using a permanent magnet and solenoid is proposed and designed in this paper. Its design concept is composed of a driving force generation, a guide mechanism, and a symmetric structure. At first, Driving Force generation uses a concept that is a change efflux by using a permanent magnet and solenoid. A permanent flux is generated by a permanent magnet. Changeable flux is created by a variable current flowing through coil such the solenoid. The direction of this flux is changed due to current flowing through coils. The combination of permanent and changeable fluxes make various flux densities between yokes of moving part and fixed yokes. And then, the flux densities create forces(F), which are used to drive this actuator, in lower and upper gap. In this actuator ...

EHA(Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator)는 기존의 중앙집중식 유압시스템에 비해 높은 에너지 효율을 가진다. 특히 항공기용 EHA는 고장상황에 대비하여 이중화 설계가 일반적이다. 또한 장착공간의 한계로, 구동기 길이를 최적화 하여야 한다. 따라서 양로드형 실린더와 단로드형 실린더의 직렬 구성이 유리하다. 하지만 피스톤 수압부 면적의 비대칭성으로 인해, 일반적인 제어 기법으로 이중화 구동 시 두 실린더 사이에 Force Fighting 현상이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이중화된 EHA의 시뮬레이션을 통해 Force Fighting 현상을 확인하였다. 이를 억제하기 위한 방법으로 Load Compensation 제어기와 힘 제어 기반 위치 제어기를 적용하였고 시뮬레이션을 통해 각각의 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 설계변수 변화에 따른 특성을 빠른 시간 내에 파악할 수 있는 등가자기회로법(equivalent magnetic circuit method)을 활용하여 콜레노이드(colenoid) 타입의 선형 액츄에이터 설계 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 우선 선형 액츄에이터의 중요치수가 결정되면 등가자기회로법에 의해 슬롯 폭 비율 및 인가전류에 따른 클램핑력으로 파라미터 맵(parameter map)을 완성하고 이를 활용하여 효율적인 슬롯 폭 비율을 결정하였다. 또한 최대 클램핑력(clamping force)을 얻기 위해 극 폭 조절 알고리즘을 수행하여 최적의 극 폭 치수를 선정하였으며 이를 바탕으로 인가전류에 따른 클램핑력을 계산하여 40 kN 이상 출력하기 위한 최적의 극 수, 극 폭 치수 및 인가전류를 결정하였다. 제안된 설계 알고리즘은 최적설계 방법인 반응표면법(response surface method)과 비교하여 제안한 설계 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하였다.

진동 햅틱 피드백은 최신 터치 디스플레이의 주요한 기능으로, 화면의 인터페이스와 상호 작용할 때 사용자의 조작성 및 몰입감을 크게 향상시킨다. 본 연구에선 정전기력 기반의 메커니즘을 적용하여 강한 진동 출력을 생성할 수 있으면서도, 얇은 평판 타입으로 제작이 가능하여 중대형 디스플레이의 뒷면에 탑재하기에 적합한 진동 햅틱 액추에이터를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 액추에이터는 방사형 판스프링에 매달려 전기적으로 접지된 Mass를 이격 되어 있는 상하의 전극에 의해 정전기력으로 상하로 교번하여 진동력을 증폭시킬 수 있는 구조로 개발되었다. 성능평가 결과, 개발된 액추에이터가 2개 내장된 Bar-Type 모듈에서 170 Hz에서 최대 3.3g의 우수한 진동 출력을 보여, 중대형 터치 디스플레이에서 햅틱 피드백 제공에 대한 가능성이 확인되었다.
